It was a difficult passage from Fiji to New Zealand. The first three days I was very seasick. At first it felt like sailing in a washing machine. The waves came from all sides. It was beam reach all the way. I had two 40 ft boats as wingmen. During the day they came closer to me. During the night they furled their jib in and I kept on sailing with the same setup. Around 4 pm the wind picked up to 20-24 knots and all night I sailed around 6 - 7 knots of speed. If you like my videos, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Donated by the Jester Trust as a way to perpetuate the spirit and ideals epitomised by Blondie Hasler and Mike Richey aboard Jester, this award recognises a noteworthy singlehanded voyage or series of voyages made in a vessel of 30ft or less overall, or a contribution to the art of singlehanded ocean sailing. In 2007 this Award was won by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler, DSO, OBE (27 February 1914 - 5 May 1987) was a lieutenant colonel in the Royal Marines. Soon after joining the Marines, he grew a blonde moustache, from which he acquired his nickname 'Blondie'. Hasler is known[by whom?] as the father of single-handed sailing, owing to his invention of the first practical self-steering gear for yachts: many sailing vessels continue to rely on systems substantially based on Hasler's work. In 1960, Hasler competed in the first Observer Single-handed Transatlantic Race (OSTAR), from Plymouth to New York. The race, originated solely by Hasler, did not include any "half a crown" bet as the myth suggests with Sir Francis Chichester the fourth of the five competitors to enter the race. My nominator wrote: 'I met Jacqueline in Vava'u Tonga and her lovely little boat Loveworkx stood out in the mooring field. At just 27' long she was dwarfed by all the other yachts around her but still looked very seaworthy and rightfully so! Loveworkx and her owner Jacqueline have sailed all the way from the Netherlands to New Zealand, single handed. She left in July 2023 and has sailed 16,000 nm in 15 months. Jacqueline is a lovely person and epitomises the values of an OCC member. Friendly, social, adventurous and keen to connect with others along the way. She is inspirational to all solo sailors, small boat sailors and women sailors alike. She has a great YouTube channel @sailingloveworkx where she records her adventures along the way.'

Before leaving New Zealand to sail further around the world, I test my safety equipment; EPIRB, SART and PLB. Further I prepare all the necessary Navionics charts on Iphone, Ipad and Raymarine Axiom 7+ chartplotter. Also I talk to PredictWind to setup the system for ocean sailing again.

In this video I share some of the boat projects and preparations before leaving New Zealand. For example my second anchor is going through the cork in the v-birth, I replace the Wichard lifeline caps, I replace my handheld VHF, I do meal planning and customs and immigration papers. Also I have my batteries replaced because my current batteries are at 75% of their capacity already and will probably be at 50% in one year. For AGM batteries that means end of life cycle. This is due to the warmer climat I sail in. So in stead of 5-7 years they have a much shorter life span. If you like my videos, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.
