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. Follow along as I learn, prepare, and chase a dream that feels bigger than me. ------------------------------------------ New videos EVERY week ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/classicmara ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/classicmara_/ __________________________ Support me: PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/helgamarielk Vipps: 39088 - Classic Mara Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/griedy1 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/173a9a5e6 Buy Me a Coffe: https://buymeacoffee.com/classicmara __________________________ Affiliate links: Dakota Lithium Batteries: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=79634&awinaffid=2732466&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dakotalithium.com Orca Navigation System: https://getorca.com/?via=classicmara PitViper: https://www.pitviper.com/discount/CLASSICMARA?redirect=%2F&utm_campaign=money%2Bcounters&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=upfluence
