They don`t birthdays in Japan. Here is why. In my travels across Japan, I’ve noticed something striking: many older people don’t count their birthdays. In the West, we measure life as a straight line— birth, growth, productivity… then decline. But what if that’s the wrong model? In Japan, aging feels different. Less about fading… more about remaining part of the rhythm of life— engaged, respected, and connected across generations. It reminded me of a line from Crocodile Dundee: “When were you born?” “Summertime.” Not a number. A season.

Here is the port helm station on our boat. The removable helm window allows you to see completely through the boat when removed as well as have access to our chart plotter. In heavy weather or rain we keep the helm window in place but can still see the chart plotter through it and access it easily around the corner through the doorway. Having @bandgsailing electronics onboard have been a game changer for us compared to our minimal electronics on Adrenaline. Being able to see our true and apparent wind data and even set the autopilot to steer to the wind angle rather than a compass heading has made our sailing way more efficient. All our control lines our led to the cockpit as well so there really is not much reason to have to leave the cockpit in rough conditions.
