To find north using Cassiopeia, look high in the northern sky to locate the five bright stars that form a distinct "W" or "M" shape. Focus on the central peak of this shape, which acts like an arrow pointing out toward the open side of the constellation. Draw an imaginary line straight out from this central bend and extend it about five times the overall width of the constellation. This line will lead your eyes directly to Polaris, also known as the North Star. Since Polaris sits directly above the Earth's North Pole, facing this star means you are looking exactly due north. #stars #sailing #sailor #sailboat #space

After an ice storm and a late-night show, we return to our sailboat to see what winter left behind. Frozen lines, rigging checks, and a full winter boat inspection to make sure everything survived. After the storm, we bring in provisions for the weekend, wake up to quiet marina mornings, make coffee and a warm omelet bowl with music playing in the background, and take care of a failing electrical outlet onboard. This is real winter sailboat life—maintenance, problem-solving, and slowing down together. If you’re into sailing vlogs, liveaboard life, or learning what winter boating is really like, this episode is for you. ⚓ Subscribe for honest sailing life, boat maintenance, and cozy moments from the galley. Cheers! - Rodney & Cyndi

This week, Mitsu's 91-year-old mother, Chiharu, has joined us in Buren Bay. It's only the second time I've met her. The first was a few months ago when she came sailing with me aboard *Wahine*. Since then, Mitsu has become Wahine's owner and skipper, while I've remained here continuing my research into what it means to age well in this tiny island community. Day One After the long drive from the airport, we spent the evening sitting outside around an unlit campfire. It was simply too warm to light it. Chiharu picked up her ukulele, we sang together, shared a meal, and enjoyed one another's company. But what stayed with me wasn't the music. It was watching a 91-year-old mother and her adult son enjoying each other's company as genuine friends. I often think about the difference between a linear view of life and a circular one. In a linear world, older people gradually move to the edges. Here, Chiharu was neither being looked after nor simply being included. She was right at the center of the circle. Tomorrow: Radio Taiso at 6:30 a.m. PS Spending a week with Chiharu is something I've genuinely been looking forward to. She still lives independently, and over the coming days, you'll discover why she's become such an inspiration to me, from her music and morning routines to the way she relates to family, friends, and the community around her. These are simply small observations from everyday life. But perhaps it's in ordinary moments like these that we begin to understand why some people age so well.
