5 days until I sail solo, nonstop around the world. FIVE. DAYS. 😳 At this point, Showgirl has people working on her from every direction while I’m running around trying to make sure nothing gets forgotten. Today, another few boxes got ticked. My grab bag was inspected, the autopilot was sealed, the emergency water was sealed… and we keep going. Because somehow, even with only five days left, there is still SO much to do. But there’s something strangely comforting about looking around the marina right now. Everyone is doing exactly the same thing. Boats open, tools everywhere, people fixing things, carrying things, checking lists and racing against the exact same clock. We’re all about to leave alone. But for these last few days, at least, none of us really are. 5 days to the starting line. 🌍⛵ ⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology.

4 days until I sail solo, nonstop around the world. 🌍 Today we took Showgirl out for a test sail to try all the new sails and make sure everything is working as it should. But I have to say… the sailing wasn't really the highlight of the day. Somewhere between the never-ending lists, the last-minute jobs and the countdown getting VERY real, I’m still finding time to have so much fun with the friends and family who are here helping me get ready. And I think these are the moments I’m going to remember when I’m out there alone. Right now Showgirl is full of people, there’s always someone around, someone helping, someone laughing, someone asking what still needs to be done. In four days, it’ll just be the two of us. So I’m enjoying this chaos while I still can. ❤️ 4 days to the starting line. Follow along… we’re almost there. ⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology.

3 days to go. 😳 Another full day of getting Showgirl ready. Lazy jacks sorted, rigging checked, EcoMax checked, Hydrovane rudders painted, glow plug switch fixed… slowly but surely, we’re ticking things off the list. And I definitely wouldn’t be getting through this final stretch without all the friends who keep showing up, picking up tools and asking, “Okay, what’s next?” ❤️ Special shoutout to @roamingreef for jumping into the chaos and helping us get Showgirl ready. And after another day of work, we finished with dinner with all the skippers. Three days from now, we’ll all be heading out there alone. For now, I’m really enjoying having everyone around. 🌊 ⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology.
