Prepping for the ultimate 2025 challenge! 🚤🌸 After 5 incredible years cruising Japan on my Gibsea 402, I’m gearing up for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2, a journey to sail the length of Japan during Sakura Season—25 years after doing it by bicycle. 🗾 This haulout in Okinawa is to ready my boat (and myself) for the adventure of a lifetime as I celebrate turning 70! 💪⛵ Follow along for every step of this epic odyssey! 🌊 This is day 10 of the haul out. I actually splashed on day 8, but on the next day, I discovered a problem, and so tomorrow I have to haul out again. Are you a `never-too-later` like me?

We had a bit of fun on the Saturday 3rd November for the third race of the Gold Cup Series hosted by Royal Akarana Yacht Club. Great to see so many boats braving the breeze and chilly conditions to take on the 44 mile race!
