Day 13. Time to reset. The past few days have been heavy. No sleep, rough conditions, low energy… and you could feel it in the mood. So today we decided to change that. Started the day with some yoga. Nothing crazy, just enough to wake up the body a bit. Then we played some games, took our minds off everything for a while. At some point we put on The Greatest Showman which felt like exactly the right choice. And from there it just turned into a proper reset day. Brigadeiro. Karaoke. A full dance party. And of course, a ukulele concert. It sounds a bit chaotic… but it worked. It reminded us why we enjoy this. Why we like traveling together. How good it can be when we actually choose to make it good, instead of just waiting for it to feel good. And honestly, it shifted everything. So we made a new rule: from now on, at least one dance party a day is mandatory. Let’s see if we stick to it. 🌊🎶 ⚓ 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.

Day 15. Started the day with absolutely no wind. We were literally drifting… even going a bit backwards at times. Just slowly turning in circles, waiting for something to change. But eventually, the wind came back. Slowly, steadily, and we could start sailing again. I spent most of the day cooking. Prepping food for the next few days, making things easier for future us. Lunches, dinners, getting ahead while things were calm. And then… I made a chocolate croissant. As someone who’s gluten-free, that’s been one of the things I’ve missed the most. So being able to make one, on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, felt kind of unreal. Used the Omnia oven, and honestly, I love it. It just makes life out here feel a bit more normal. We ended the day on a high note. Karaoke, singing, just enjoying ourselves again. But before the night, it was back to business. The barometer dropped, which usually means one thing out here… more wind coming. A low pressure system on the way. So we reefed, prepped the boat, and got ready. Because this one might get a bit rough. 🌊 ⚓ 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.

Day 17. Pretty blah day. We’re going upwind, but the waves keep pushing us back down. Struggling to stay on course, making very little progress. It’s uncomfortable, not very fun, and a bit frustrating to just watch the numbers not really change. Kind of one of those days where you just have to accept it and wait for things to shift. The one good thing… the sun was out. And that honestly made a difference. Just having light, warmth, and a bit of calm in between everything else. We ended up watching Mamma Mia!, which is always a good idea. So yeah, not the most exciting day sailing-wise. But not the worst day either. Just one of those in-between days. 🌊 ⚓ 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.
