There’s a typhoon in the forecast—at least according to one of the weather models—and it could sweep right over Amami next week. So it’s prep time aboard Wahine. Today I’m taking down the jib sail, adding fenders, securing gear, and making sure both inside and out are storm-ready. It’s a strangely calm and beautiful morning. Perfect weather… for storm prep. ANd a pleasant break from writing. Living on a boat along in a Bay by a remote Japanese village means you don’t just watch the forecast, you respect it. Join me for a short glimpse into the practical side of slow living at sea: a mix of solitude, muscle memory, and quiet readiness. 🎥 Shot on location in Buren Village, Amami Oshima 🌸 Part of the Never Too Late Longevity Project 📚 From the author of A Journey Beyond the Blue Zone #TyphoonPrep #BoatLifeJapan #AmamiOshima #SailingJapan #RemoteIslandLife #NeverTooLate #PacificSolo #SoloSailing #StormReady #CalmBeforeTheStorm #JibSail #TyphoonSeason #JapanWeather #LifeAtSea #BlueZoneJapan #boatlife #japan #solosailor

This is about as close to live as we can get. Andy has sheltered in place at a hurricane protected building and I have gone to Brandon which appears to the be where the eye is going to make landfall. I can't get outside now as the wind and rain is really strong. Andy is able to see the boat via the marina webcam and she appears to be doing well. I do belive we are about 2 hrs from landfall. Other reports from friends that the water in the ICW that connects the channels to the Gulf of Mexico at clearwater harbor and Clearwater Beach appears to be lower which means the water is being taken from the hurricane as it did with Ian 2 years ago. Wish us luck as we contine to go thru this hurricane. Prayers to all in the path of it. This one is nasty for sure!
