The day actually started at 1:30 a.m. The wind died completely, so I had to hand steer through the night. Which is as exhausting as it sounds. By the time morning came, instead of starting the day like I usually do, I just needed to sleep. Tried to rest during the day, but it’s never easy sleeping when the sun is up and your body is confused. So not much actual sleep… but at least some rest. At some point I gave up on trying to sleep and made a cappuccino instead. That helped. We also realized we were stuck in a proper wind hole. Completely still, while everyone around us was sailing with good wind. We were talking to other boats and they were double reefed and flying… and we were just sitting there. A bit frustrating. Eventually we got out of it, and suddenly everything made sense again. Wind filled in, boat started moving, and we were back in it. The highlight of the day though… dolphins. First time in 20 days. They just showed up out of nowhere, and it completely changed the mood. One of those moments that reminds you why you’re out here. And on top of that, the wind finally shifted in our favor. We’re now doing around 5.5 knots in the right direction, which feels amazing after the last few days. Tried calling Daniel on the VHF as well. He could hear me perfectly, but I couldn’t hear him at all. So that’s a bit of a concern, especially since I’ve been having some issues with the AIS as well. Definitely something I need to figure out. But overall… a pretty normal day out here. Exhausting, a bit frustrating at times, but with a few really good moments in between. 🌊🐬 ⚓ 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.
