Day 1 of the return crossing… and we’re already off to a strong start 😅 Both of us are sick. Me from day one, Gabi from the sea. Getting out of Sint Maarten was an adventure on its own — long fuel lines, rushing for the bridge, everything happening last minute as usual. But we made it. Now we’re heading towards France, upwind, fairly stable conditions, and honestly… great company. Could be worse, right? Now I just need to get better and get back to business.

Day 2. Today was a rough one. I’ve been feeling really sick, and everything I did felt like a huge effort. Even small things would completely drain me, so I ended up spending a lot of time just lying down in between the sail changes I needed to do. The first half of the day especially just knocked me out. Not ideal when your partner is seasick in addition and not really able to help either… but here we are, still getting through it. Luckily the weather has been pretty calm, which made a big difference. At least we didn’t have to deal with anything too demanding on top of everything else. But we both know there’s stronger weather coming. So for now, it’s just about getting through today and hoping we recover quickly. 🌊 ⚓ 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 6. I finally feel good again. It’s taken a few days, but today I woke up feeling like myself. And it shows. The whole mood is different. Everything feels lighter, easier, more positive. We used the day to prepare for the front that’s coming. Gabi cooked, so we now have food ready. We cleaned up the boat a bit, got things in place, just making sure we’re set before the weather changes. I also spent some time working on the SSB radio and finally got it to work. It still needs a bit of fine tuning, but that’s a big step forward. The winds have been very light today, so we haven’t been moving much. But honestly, it’s been nice. A calm day to reset, get organized, and just breathe a little. Because we both know… it won’t stay like this for long. 🌊 ⚓ 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.
