Waiting day in Amami. The wind is too strong to paddle out to my boat, Wahine, anchored in the bay — so I wait. At the same time, far away in London, my agent is showing my new book, Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, to publishers. After years of writing, the strange part begins. The moment when the book is no longer entirely in your hands. — Lowell Sheppard is a writer, sailor, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society exploring how people stay active and connected into old age across Japan. His latest book, Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, is the result of two years living and traveling in Japan`s Longevity Hot Spots #JapanSolo #FieldNotes #SailingLife #Amami #AuthorLife #AgingWell

March 11 marks the anniversary of the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Japan. In the days after the disaster, I joined an early helicopter reconnaissance flight over the devastated coastline identifying communities needing immediate help and then supporting those communities and they rebuilt lives and restarted businesses. The destruction was almost impossible to comprehend. But what followed was equally powerful: communities rebuilding together. A quiet reminder of the strength of community. #March11 #Japan #Remember311 #Community #JapanSolo #FieldNotes

A calm morning in Amami. When the Bay goes still, things appear twice. Above and below. Sometimes a familiar place looks different when you pause long enough to notice. #JapanSolo #FieldNotes #SailingLife #Amami #SlowTravelJapan #beautiful
