Day 10. A good day, or started like it It started with almost no wind, but I set the sails based on what I expected to come. Woke up at 2 a.m. and we were sailing in the right direction, perfectly balanced. No Hydrovane on, just the boat doing its thing. That felt really good. As the day went on, the wind picked up and we spent most of it on a broad reach toward the Azores. The wind has been a bit up and down, and the waves have been building, so every now and then we get the odd crash. Not constant, more like surprise hits. Still, overall it’s a fairly comfortable ride. Much easier to live with than yesterday. I spent a big part of the day trying to figure out the charging issue. Turns out the battery system was basically telling the alternator not to charge. So I cut that communication… and now it’s charging again. Not entirely sure if I’ve messed something else up in the process, but for now, we have power again. I’ll take that. Other than that, it’s been a nice day. Beautiful sunset, steady sailing, just moving along toward the Azores. We’re expecting similar conditions for the next few days, so let’s see how it goes. 🌊 ⚓ 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.

We captured Wild Oats XI's first sail since her recent transformation. This was her first time on the water in preparation for her Rolex Sydney Hobart Line Honours defence. Even at a distance she looked good.

From tears of joy, to tears of frustration, week 13 of the Vendée Globe was another emotional and dramatic one. And if you thought that the close competition was reserved for the front of the fleet you might want to think again. So, as the next wave of finishers stream across the line off Les Sables d’Olonne, Matt Sheahan talks to 6 time circumnavigator and round the world record holder Dee Caffari about why this edition has been so special and what performances have stood out for her.
