Keel Club Appreciation Time

Lowell Sheppard • December 13, 2019

Wow! What a year!

Twelve months ago, I was just beginning to share my dream of voyaging from Tokyo to Nemo North and beyond to Vancouver. The plan then, was to get a boat sometime in 2020. But, things happened much more quickly and I took possession of SV Wahine half way through 2019.

I could not have done this without the Keel Club members.

Recently, it was my honor to welcome one of the members, Tokyo Super Cars, on board (I hope it will be the first of many times). In fact, it was a double treat for me because, not only are they Keel Club Members, but they were also redeeming a prize they had paid $2500 USD for at the Tokyo HOPE Dinner and Auction. The prize was a Two-Hour Champagne and Canapes Cruise on SV Wahine. 100% of the proceeds went to HOPE to help with our Clean Water Programs in Cambodia and Ethiopia.

The Champagne was sponsored by Iconic Wines and the Canapes by Tony Torres of Back2Brooklyn.

Thanks to all of my Keel Club Members who have helped in the purchase of SV Wahine which put wind my sail and the Pacific Solo challenge.

Thanks to all Keel Club Members

Thinking of mooring your boat in a Japanese fishing port or harbor? Japan is a welcoming but deeply group-oriented society, and showing respect is key to a smooth experience.

Beyond the Blue Zone

By Lowell Sheppard • January 12, 2025

This past year, I've been based in the Ryukyu Islands, particularly Okinawa - a region renowned as a "Blue Zone" for its high concentration of centenarians. But as I've discovered, other prefectures like Shimane and Kagoshima are rewriting the narrative, often surpassing Okinawa in longevity statistics.

Survival Japanese for Sailors: 5 Words to Build Connections in Japan

By Lowell Sheppard • October 31, 2024

As more cruisers head to Japan, communication becomes crucial - not just for getting by, but for truly connecting with people. While some folks are natural language learners, I've always found it a bit of a challenge. But after spending five years cruising and visiting over 70 ports, I've picked up a few key words that have made a world of difference.

Pacific... Trio

I'm thrilled to share that this week I will begin a 30-45 day passage from Hawaii to Japan. However, this time, I'll be sailing aboard, Ramona Rae (an Ingrid 38) instead of Wahine (my Gib Sea 402).

Just a quick update from dry land. I hopped off Wahine a few days ago and left her securely moored in Buren Bay.
