Day 1. After five days in Horta trying to get the boat ready, it was finally time to leave again. The weather forecast wasn’t exactly ideal. Good wind for one day, then basically no wind for two days before it would finally pick up again and push me toward France. I could have waited a few more days for better conditions… but honestly, I just wanted to get moving again. So I left. And once again, I’m sailing solo. Gabi has left, so it’s just me and the boat again. Getting ready was stressful, as always. There’s always one more thing to fix, one more thing that suddenly becomes important before departure. This time it was the anchor stay that needed sorting, which delayed things a couple more days. But eventually everything was ready enough, and at some point you just have to go. I started by tacking upwind between the islands so I could stay sheltered through the night. And honestly… it was pretty chill. Once I got past the islands, the wind became stable, the boat settled, and we were moving at a decent pace in a decent direction. It was calm enough that I could actually rest properly, just getting up every now and then to check things since the boat was wandering a little bit back and forth. But nothing dramatic. And the day just turned into a really nice start to the trip. I made amazing food, enjoyed the sailing, and honestly just felt really happy to be out here alone again. It felt good to be back. 🌊 ⚓ 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

Did you know that on board a Windelo, you can run the air conditioning using ONLY renewable energies? Many of you plan to sail in a tropical hot and humid climate, and you hesitate to install an AC on your boat. Even though our catamarans are built to have ample airflow throughout the boat, you might still seek even more comfort. You will be pleased to learn that, on your Windelo, you can run your AC from batteries (without using the genset!). Both models of New Windelo (the 50 and the 54) offer you enough solar power to run it from renewable energies, not using a drop of fossil fuel or plugging into shore! If you were, last week at the Miami International Boat Show, you had the opportunity to visit Joules, a New Windelo 50. But did you know that Joule produced its energy during the show thanks to the solar panels (an average of 3.4 kWh) and consumed 1.3 kWh of energy (leaving a positive balance of 1.6 kWh)? It is interesting to point out that this consumption also included the AC, fridge, and freezer! So, with the New Windelo, when choosing the AC option for your more tropical adventures, your energy will still come solely from renewable resources! Whenever you search for even more energy, activate the hydro-generation when you are sailing under sail, and you can also choose the wind turbine(s) as the energy source. Contact us to configure your boat according to your sailing program: sales@windelo-catamaran.com! We will be delighted to learn more about your sailing dreams! ……… Saviez-vous qu'à bord d'un Windelo, vous pouvez faire fonctionner la climatisation en utilisant UNIQUEMENT des énergies renouvelables ? Vous êtes nombreux à envisager de naviguer en zone tropicale avec un climat chaud et humide, et hésitez à installer une climatisation sur votre bateau. Même si nos catamarans sont construits pour offrir une circulation d'air suffisante dans tout le bateau, vous recherchez peut-être encore plus de confort. Vous serez heureux d'apprendre que, sur votre Windelo, vous pouvez faire fonctionner votre climatisation uniquement à partir de vos batteries (soit sans utiliser le groupe électrogène !). Les New Windelo (le 50 et le 54) vous offrent suffisamment d'énergie solaire pour que la climatisation et vos éléments de confort fonctionnent grâce aux énergies renouvelables, sans utiliser une goutte de combustible fossile et sans se brancher sur le quai ! Si vous étiez la semaine dernière au Miami International Boat Show, vous avez eu l'occasion de visiter Joules, un New Windelo 50. Mais saviez-vous que Joule était autonome en énergie durant tout le salon ? Grâce aux panneaux solaires Joule produisait en moyenne 3,4 kWh et consommait 1,3 kWh (soit un bilan énergétique positif de 1,6 kWh). Il est intéressant de souligner que cette consommation incluait notamment la climatisation, le réfrigérateur et le congélateur ! Ainsi, avec le New Windelo, en choisissant l'option AC pour vos aventures les plus tropicales, vous serez autonome grâce à votre production d'énergie renouvelable ! Et quand vos besoins d'énergie augmentent, activez le mode hydro-génération lorsque vous naviguez sous voiles, et/ou choisissez l’option éolienne(s) comme source d'énergie. Contactez-nous pour configurer votre bateau selon votre programme de navigation : sales@windelo-catamaran.com ! Nous serons ravis d’en apprendre plus sur vos rêves de navigation ! * * * * * #windelo #windelocatamaran #ecocatamaran #NewWindelo50 #NewWindelo54 #NewWindelo50Adventure #NewWindelo50Yachting #NewWindelo54Yachting #solarboat #solarboats #greensailing #sustainablesailing #electricsailing #circumnavigation #responsibletravel #ecofriendlylifestyle #ecofriendlyproduct #ecofriendlydesign #electricboat #electriccatamaran #hybridboat #hybridyacht #sailboat #sailing #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingboat #sailinglife #sailinglifestyle #sailinglover #sailingpassion
