On my third research journey up the length of Japan, I’ve returned to Matsue Castle in Shimane Prefecture — the region that’s ranked number one in Japan for twelve consecutive years for the number of centenarians per 100,000 people. Just 48 hours ago, I left my boat in Amami, flew to Tokyo to surprise my son on his birthday, and then took two long trains to reach Shimane, where I’ll be spending the week writing, soaking up the atmosphere, and conducting more interviews for my upcoming book on longevity and community in Japan. A longer video is coming soon with updates from the past few months — including some sailing adventures — but for now, here’s a glimpse of where the next chapter of this journey unfolds. Remember, it’s never too late to get out and about.
- Dunkerque to Cherbourg. It took us 36 hours to move our home 185 nautical miles — almost entirely under sail, with the engine running for just 3 hours 🎉 Living on a sailboat means home is wherever we drop anchor… or dock in a new marina. The view changes, the neighbors drift by, but the creaking of the rig, the warmth of our tiny galley, and the sound of Anker snoring on the floor – that’s our constant ✨ And that’s something Signe, especially, has been longing for — after moving almost every year since childhood, changing addresses like seasons. Together we’ve moved five times in the last six years. So having a home that stays with us, wherever we go, brings a sense of calm we’ve both been craving. We’re not just traveling. We’re taking our home with us, one nautical mile at a time. ⛵💙
