Corti Creare
The fishing harbor is empty today. A typhoon is approaching, and the village has prepared. The longer I spend in Japan’s remote longevity hotspots, the more I notice a deep awareness of nature, uncertainty, and the limits of control. One side of the storm can bring protection. The other, danger. Living close to the elements shapes more than survival skills. It shapes humility, attentiveness, and concern for one another. About me: I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. I’m the Founder of the Never Too Late Academy and Special Advisor to the International Forum. Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore aging, place, community, and longevity across Japan’s islands and remote villages. #Typhoon #Japan #JapanSolo #Longevity #IslandLife #Community #Nature #BoatLife #LifeLessons #Sailing
Vitalia II (ex Orange II) is the fastest catamaran to have sailed around the world in 50 days 16 hours 20 minutes and 4 seconds. She held the overall record from 2005 to 2010 until it was broken by an Últim class trimaran, Groupama 3. ▫️ Do you think you could sail her as quickly as the skipper, Bruno Peyron did? ▫️ Robert Knox-Johnston went round in 1968/69 in 313 days on Suhaili (3.39 knots average). ▫️ There's a typo in the reel 🙄. Can you spot it? ▫️ #speed #record #maxiyacht
