The Island of Dreams - Where My Sailing Journey Began #sailinglife #tokyobay #itsnevertoolate

Wahine’s home when I found her was at Yumenoshima Marina — Tokyo’s “Island of Dreams.” Built on landfill, transformed into a marina and park, it was here that my journey with Wahine truly began. On this day off from writing, meetings, and even backgammon with my grandson, I return to Yumenoshima — to reconnect with the place and the people who helped launch this adventure. I meet Robin, a fellow Canadian sailor and former Disney executive, who was the very first guest aboard Wahine years ago. With his help, and the support of others, Wahine was readied for the voyage south. Robin has since bought his own 26-foot sailboat, Figaro, and today, I join him to sail Tokyo Bay. This video is about more than just sailing. It’s about friendships, memories, and the places that leave lasting marks on our lives. As I prepare to welcome my second grandson into the world before returning south to Buren Bay and new adventures, I’m reminded: It’s never too late to pull up anchor… or drop one… to live your dream. #sailinglife #tokyobay #itsnevertoolate thanks to Mackenzie and @SailingRamona for the drone footage of Wahine
