On my third research journey up the length of Japan, I’ve returned to Matsue Castle in Shimane Prefecture — the region that’s ranked number one in Japan for twelve consecutive years for the number of centenarians per 100,000 people. Just 48 hours ago, I left my boat in Amami, flew to Tokyo to surprise my son on his birthday, and then took two long trains to reach Shimane, where I’ll be spending the week writing, soaking up the atmosphere, and conducting more interviews for my upcoming book on longevity and community in Japan. A longer video is coming soon with updates from the past few months — including some sailing adventures — but for now, here’s a glimpse of where the next chapter of this journey unfolds. Remember, it’s never too late to get out and about.

Two giant racing yachts charge downwind under full spinnakers — surfing fast waves just inches apart. Crew members scream “Hold your line!” as water spray hits the camera and the wind shakes everything. A heart-pounding moment of high-speed sailing and near-collision action, captured with raw, realistic energy. #sailboat #yachtracing #spinnaker #downwind #sailinglife #oceanracing #adrenaline #sailingshorts #boats #extremesailing #viralshorts
