Il giorno della partenza si avvicina e le cose da fare diventano impellenti. Iniziamo con la novità: Habemus pezzi di ricambio del timone! 💪💪 Lunedì faremo i lavori. Per il resto ci siamo portati avanti con le commissioni: Portare la vela rotta a valutare se c’è ancora qualcosa fare o se l’accanimento terapeutico può fermarsi. Brutta notizia: il materiale è liso e consumato dagli anni e dal sole. Non c’è niente da fare. Chi sa cucire delle borse con i materiali della vela? Cerchiamo partner per business proficuo 😄 Nel negozio nautico prendiamo alcune cose utili. Dovete sapere che chi entra in un negozio nautico ed esce a mani vuote non ha guardato abbastanza tra quegli scaffali che ospitano mille soluzioni ad altrettanti problemi. Per cena celebriamo la partenza insieme a Silvia e Giorgio, presto di ritorno in Italia anche loro, via aereo. Abbiamo brindato ai ritorni. Che siano sempre più ricchi delle partenze. Significa che il tuo bagaglio è cresciuto e non c’è ricchezza più grande a costo zero 🫶

Good morning from the moat of Matsue Castle, where turtles bask, cherry trees sway, and history lingers in the quiet corners. I’ve just visited the former home of Lafcadio Hearn, the beloved storyteller who helped introduce Japan to the Western world in the late 19th century. Hearn was a foreigner here—just like me—and yet he was deeply embraced, not because of status or novelty, but because of his cultural curiosity and willingness to listen. His legacy reminds us that belonging in another culture begins with humility and respect. I understand why some people in Japan are experiencing a rise in discomfort around tourism—crowded streets, noise, and frayed public manners. Even I get irritated when people cut in line or talk loudly on trains. Yet in my own experience, I’ve rarely felt hostility. When foreigners arrive with sensitivity, Japan almost always responds with warmth. My personal connection to Hearn reaches across time—years ago, his great-nephew rented my house in Vancouver after I moved to Japan. Now, back in Matsue, I’m heading out to see the turtles, symbols of longevity—another thread in this journey. See you on the water. #Japan #LafcadioHearn #Matsue #MatsueCastle #ForeignersInJapan #Longevity #JapanTravel #CulturalExchange #TravelVlog #JapanCulture #BlueZonesJapan #SustainableTravel #SlowTravel #Storytelling #HistoryJapan
