🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [1/52] 🪢 Did you know that you can use common cooking oil to keep your boat toilet’s flushing system smooth and easy flushing? It’s really simple, you just take a tablespoon of the oil you have at hand and pour in into the toilet. Then, in empty mode, you pump a few pumps and then it’s done. Do this 1-2 times every week and you’ll soon see a difference! The oil will keep all the internal rubber parts soft and prolong their life span, meaning less shitty maintenance for you 💩 We usually do this in the evening so it can sit for the night 😴 Extra tip: If you have canned food that’s preserved in oil (like sun dried tomatoes or mushrooms) it’s perfect to use the oil that’s left in the can before throwing it out. Be sure to save this post to remember it the next time you see your boat toilet 🚽

In a remote village near where my boat Wahine is moored in Amami, a weathered stone has long been part of a local coming-of-age ritual. At first glance, it seems ordinary. But the longer I study longevity and community in Japan, the more convinced I become that healthy societies are built when generations remain connected through shared rituals, expectations, and belonging. This Short accompanies a longer Field Note exploring rites of passage, intergenerational life, and what aging well may really require. Read the full article here: https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/post/lifting-the-stone About me: I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore aging, place, and community across Japan. #Japan #Longevity #Community #Aging #JapanSolo #HealthyAging #VillageLife #LifeLessons #JapaneseCulture #RitesOfPassage
