Day 3. A bit of a restart. After stopping in Terceira, it was time to leave again. And what really stood out to me today was just how… easy it felt. Before my previous sails, everything always felt big and stressful. Rushing to get ready before the weather window closed, fixing things last minute, feeling nervous before leaving. This time was completely different. The boat had been ready for days. I had already provisioned. I knew the weather was good. There was no stress, no panic. At some point I just thought, “yeah, I’m gonna head to France now.” Like it was a completely normal thing to say. And of course, when I actually said it out loud to people, they looked at me like I was insane. Which honestly made me laugh a little. But it felt really cool to realize that somewhere along the way, this has become normal to me. Crossing oceans alone doesn’t feel huge and terrifying anymore. It just feels like sailing. And that’s a pretty big milestone. The sailing itself was also absolutely beautiful. I left in the middle of a regatta with the local yacht club, which made the departure feel really special. Then I just kept sailing with the wind behind me, eventually setting twin headsails for the first time. And wow. The boat felt amazing. The sailing felt effortless. Everything just worked. It honestly turned into one of my favorite sailing days so far. 🌊 ⚓ 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 7th of the month ------------------------------------------ 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 __________________________ 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

Mountain to fjord in the Sunnmore Alps is a trip for those of you who like the idea of touring and powder skiing in remote and untouched mountains in Norway. The alps and surrounding areas have been shaped by shifting glaciers over the centuries making for spectacular peaks, steep hills, and deep narrow fjords. In most of our tours we ski mountains only accessible by boat. It’s a spectacular scenery with panoramic fjord view!
