Featuring: Howard Rice (Part 2)
In this second part of our conversation with Howard Rice, we follow him from the windswept reaches of Tierra del Fuego to the quiet harbors of Japan, where he’s begun a new chapter centered around craftsmanship and small-boat life.
Howard recounts sailing through an area known as the Milky Way — a maze of channels and capes so remote that even Joshua Slocum struggled to find his way through. His story includes moments of danger, rescue, and reflection — and a surprising tale about footage from that voyage that was never turned into a film.
Now based in Japan, Howard has traded ocean crossings for the artistry of boatbuilding. From SCAMPs to traditional Japanese fishing boats, he shares how he continues to live by the same principles that carried him safely through the southern seas: self-reliance, respect for nature, and a deep love for small boats that can take you anywhere.
This episode is full of the insight and humility that only a lifetime of adventure can bring.
