Today was one of those days with a bit of everything. It started windy and quite rough. During the night I had adjusted the sails to make it a bit easier to sleep, which helped, but also pushed us a little off course. Worth it for the rest. The tricky part is the wind is coming from exactly where we want to go. So the options were basically southeast, or northwest… none of them ideal. Anything with south or west in it feels wrong right now, but that’s what we had to work with. So we zigzagged a bit. Back and forth, trying to gain something, but not really making much headway. At least we were moving. Then at some point, the wind dropped. And honestly… it felt amazing. A proper break. The boat calmed down, everything softened, and for a moment it was just peaceful. But then it died completely. Which meant- time to charge the batteries. So we did. Had an amazing dinner, got ready to charge again… and then the alternator stopped working. So now the batteries aren’t charging. And the day ends with me back in the engine bay, trying to figure out what’s going on. Not exactly how I imagined finishing the day… but here we go again. 🌊 ⚓ 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
