For nearly seven years, Wahine has been my home, my office, and my companion on an unforgettable journey around Japan. Now she is preparing for her next adventure. Next year, she'll cross the Pacific...without me. I'll explain more in the coming weeks as one chapter closes and another begins. Lowell Sheppard is an author, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Late Academy, and Special Advisor to the International Academic Forum (IAFOR). He writes about longevity, community, purpose, and healthy aging across Japan.

We had a break in the weather, so we decided to head off to Long Island. Although we had originally planned to head to the Ragged Islands, it's perhaps too early in the winter season to do so. The periodicity of the weather events down here is every week or so and the wind coming next Monday would have been a challenge in the Ragged Islands. There's so few anchorages with protection from winds out of the West. Winds were light and variable. We were mostly on a broad reach or run all day. We used every sail. Once we made the turn to starboard back to the Bahamas Bank, we dropped the main, the gennaker and got out the Oxley Levante Parasail. Love that sail. It's so fun to fly. So, we'll stay here for a bit and head back to George Town, Bahamas and wait out the next blow. Hopefully we can make it over to Dean's Blue Hole, but we'll have to rent a car for the day.

The Mediterranean at its best: perfect calm, secluded beaches, and wild nature all around. It’s moments like these that make you want to set sail again and again. @motoryachtprojectx #Yachting #LuxuryLifestyle #SummerVibes #spinnakermagazine #spinnakerbureau
