And it was another one of those bad news days. After pulling up the deck on the outside we realised that the wood rot got into the samson post right on deck level. After poking a knife into the samson post to determine how far along the wood rot has gone (hoping we could safe the samson post) we quickly realised that it's rotten almost halfway through and it was a hard decision, I do have to admit it took a bit of convincing, I really wanted to save the old post, I really didn't want another project, it's all getting a bit overwhelming lately, like what the hell was I thinking, buying a timber boat... But yeah the boat builder and a few other friends did talk some sense into me, it is probably not the safest idea to moor your boat on a half rotten post. So here we go, winching the old post out to use it as a template to make a new one :) IG: @ yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy

I’ve just left the remote island village of 29 people in southern Japan, where my boat is moored, and arrived in Tokyo for a conference on aging and gerontology with IAFOR ( The International Academic Forum) Before that, I’m walking across the city to meet my Tokyo “MOAI”—a small, regular community that stays connected both in person and digitally. It’s a reminder of something I’m seeing again and again across Japan’s longevity hotspots: Community isn’t one thing. It’s many. And perhaps that’s part of the art of living long and well. Lowell Sheppard is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Academy, Special Advisor with IAFOR ( International Academic Forum), and author of ten books. Through Japan Solo, he shares field notes on longevity, community, and independent living across Japan. His forthcoming book, Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, explores how community supports living long—and living well. #JapanSolo #Longevity #Community #HealthyAging #TokyoLife

Giorno 20 - SICILIA (ancora) I giorni fermi in porto stanno per saturare le dita di una mano e questo può voler dire una cosa sola: trepidazione. Quando partiamo? Mi accorgo che desidero ripartire perché le docce della marina, luoghi dove solitamente i diportisti trascorrono fugaci momenti del loro soggiorno, ai miei occhi non hanno più segreti e ormai le conosco così bene che posso scegliere in quale andare, a seconda di quanta acqua calda voglio. Iniziamo a sentirci fuori posto qui, come i miei piedi dentro alle crocs di Andrea. Come il sacchetto in acqua. Comodi ma nel posto sbagliato. Non fraintendeteci, restare in porto è stata una nostra scelta e lo spirito di questo viaggio è proprio di accogliere ciò che arriva, che sia tempesta, che sia bonaccia. Per fortuna questa sera il vento ci dà un po’ di tregua, così ne approfittiamo per fare quella grigliatina che pregustiamo da giorni. ❤️ Se tutto va per il verso giusto, domani dovremmo rimetterci in viaggio verso Trapani, dove tra qualche giorno verrà a trovarci un caro amico. Non vediamo l’ora di riprendere il viaggio!! 💪 A domani AC
