We have sailed from St Martin in the Caribbean to Horta in the Azores. 28 days at sea, 2538 nautical miles, 1 broken lower shroud and an oil leak in the engine. We arrived safely in Horta, Faial, Azores and dropped anchor. A beautiful island with really friendly people. Thank you to all of you who support us. We really appreciate every one of you 😁❤️
For years, Japan has fascinated the world with its long-lived population. But what if part of that story was never just diet, exercise, or healthcare? What if it was community itself? In this Field Note, I explore a thought that has stayed with me since a gerontologist first suggested I may be documenting the last cohort of healthy Japanese super-agers. That question took me unexpectedly to the decline of Japan’s Yakult Ladies—not simply as a business story, but as a sign of something deeper changing inside Japanese society. The blog explores why routine human contact, neighborhood familiarity, and social belonging may have been just as important to healthy aging as anything nutritional.
