After sailing 32,500 nautical miles around the world I want to give a shout out to my two loyal and exceptional crew members. They never talk back to me, require feeding or fall asleep on watch. In a perfect world they would make cups of tea and wash the dishes but I can't complain. The Aries windvane has kept Fathom on course in all sorts of conditions from 5knots of wind to 50knots of wind, flat seas to tumbling waves, upwind and downwind. I couldn't have got this far without it and have spent many hours watching it do its business without complaint using no electricity and only the power of the wind, a truly fantastic piece of engineering. Secondly the Aquair 100 tow gen. The generator is mounted on the pushpit and the forward motion of the boat spins a metal propeller at the end of 20m of rope. In winds over 15kts the drag created is unimportant and in tandem with the solar panel it keeps the batteries full and the fridge going 24/7. Cheers to both!

Walking around a Japanese castle during cherry blossom season. Moats were designed to protect—keeping outsiders out, and insiders in. Years ago, a mentor shared that insight with me while explaining life and business in Japan. But over time, I’ve come to see something deeper. In Japan, it’s not enough to simply be on the inside. The real goal… is to belong. This is another Field Note as I move toward a new chapter—transitioning from Pacific Solo to Japan Solo, exploring longevity, community, and what it means to live well and stay connected. #Japan #JapaneseCulture #Belonging #Community #JapanSolo #CherryBlossoms #Sakura #LifeLessons #Longevity #NeverTooLate #SlowTravel #FieldNotes
Morgens kurz vor 5 Uhr auf der Ostsee während der Segelregatta Midsummer Cup bricht die Sonne durch die Wolken. Die Yacht J97 Monk kreuzt Richtung Westen, im Hintergrund sind andere Regattateilnehmer zu sehen. Fähren aus Lübeck und Travemünde passieren das Regattafeld. Zum Glück war es da schon hell und die Sicht war gut ...
