We dive into a deep, hidden lagoon on the edge of a remote reef, where schools of surgeonfish and parrotfish surge past like a living river over dramatic drop-offs and coral canyons. Winding through underwater tunnels beneath ancient limestone, we chase the mystery of what waits around each corner.

Blue water, breeze, and a big win. 🌊 Day 2️⃣ of the North Sound Maxi Regatta delivered on its promise—a 26-mile coastal race that started and finished in the heart of the North Sound, threading through islands and tight corners, with conditions that kept tacticians on high alert. Balthasar, powered by North Sails, sailed a smart and steady race to take the win on corrected time, while V claimed line honours. “It was very intense at the beginning—way more breeze than expected,” said North Sails expert Bouwe Bekking, project manager onboard Balthasar. “We nailed our timing at the start and got clear air. That helped us march to the first mark. We’ve done a lot of offshore races, so we know the angles, we know our sail settings. That really helped today.” With two races down and momentum building, Balthasar now leads the fleet—proof that performance, preparation, and precision continue to pay off in the Caribbean’s most scenic battleground. Back at it today. More breeze, more battles, more racing to come. 🏁🌬️ #NorthSails #MaxiRegatta #BitterEndYachtClub #NorthSound #VirginGorda 🎥 Vertigo Films | North Sound Maxi Regatta
Day 5 in Tokyo. I am away from Wahine for 6 weeks, having family time and writing and working. This is my second stint in Tokyo this summer. The city is sweltering—hot, humid, relentless. But even here, in a place that never sleeps, there's value in stillness. In this reflective moment, I take a break from the motion—no meetings, no walking, no talking—just watching the river, the skyline, and letting the mind breathe. Sometimes, part of forward motion is knowing when to pause. for more videos of slow travel in japan subscribe to @PacificSolo #MindfulMoments, #Japan #TokyoSkytre
