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

QUICK WALKAROUND the RAND PICNIC 18 at the Southampton Boat Show 2019. The RAND Picnic was born with the desire to offer the most compelling sailing experience with maximum usability. This low maintenance motorboat is incredibly easy to manoeuvre and it requires no sailing license or experience to use and sail the RAND Picnic. The lightweight hull makes it easy to transport by trailer, and its large storage rooms can hold anything from canvas cushions, life vests, bathing towels, and of course your fully equipped picnic basket. Finally, the easily accessible bathing platform makes the RAND Picnic a great way to have a dip in the sea or a nearby lake. Retail price: £38,532 inc VAT - Offer price: £29,995 inc VAT FULL SPEC AVAILABLE HERE: https://www.bateswharf.co.uk/used-boats/boat-details/?BoatID=6635878
