While I’ve been away visiting Japan’s longevity hotspots and gathering field notes for my book, Wahine has been quietly waiting at the dock. But apparently not alone. Some local visitors decided to make themselves at home, so on this trip away, I’ve recruited a new crew member to keep watch — 24/7. It’s not the most experienced sailor… but it does a good job keeping the crows away. Life aboard Wahine, my floating writing base, while exploring what Japan can teach us about longevity and community. #JapanSolo #BoatLife #SailingLife #Longevity #FieldNotes #JapanLife #community
