Dag 26 på Stilla havet och efter en natt då vi tvingades gå nästan rakt söderut istället för mot målet i väster vaknade jag till ett yoghurt-inferno. Mjölkförpackningarna hade byggt upp så mycket tryck att de sprängts i lådan under sprayhooden. Normalt hade jag bara torkat upp och gått vidare. Men efter nästan fyra veckor till havs blir även små motgångar stora. Igår skrev en seglarkompis: "Man vill ju typ gråta bara man spiller lite vatten." Jag skrattade åt det då. Idag grät jag över spilld yoghurt. 😅 Så jag städade. Satte rätt kurs mot Nuku Hiva igen. Tog en dusch. Grät en skvätt. Satt en stund i solen och samlade ihop mig. I morgon kanske det känns lättare igen. 450 sjömil kvar. Och jag tror aldrig att jag har längtat så mycket efter att komma fram som jag gör nu. Det här livet bjuder verkligen på de högsta topparna och de djupaste dalarna. Jag ser väldigt mycket fram emot topparna som väntar. ❤️🌊

The day actually started at 1:30 a.m. The wind died completely, so I had to hand steer through the night. Which is as exhausting as it sounds. By the time morning came, instead of starting the day like I usually do, I just needed to sleep. Tried to rest during the day, but it’s never easy sleeping when the sun is up and your body is confused. So not much actual sleep… but at least some rest. At some point I gave up on trying to sleep and made a cappuccino instead. That helped. We also realized we were stuck in a proper wind hole. Completely still, while everyone around us was sailing with good wind. We were talking to other boats and they were double reefed and flying… and we were just sitting there. A bit frustrating. Eventually we got out of it, and suddenly everything made sense again. Wind filled in, boat started moving, and we were back in it. The highlight of the day though… dolphins. First time in 20 days. They just showed up out of nowhere, and it completely changed the mood. One of those moments that reminds you why you’re out here. And on top of that, the wind finally shifted in our favor. We’re now doing around 5.5 knots in the right direction, which feels amazing after the last few days. Tried calling Daniel on the VHF as well. He could hear me perfectly, but I couldn’t hear him at all. So that’s a bit of a concern, especially since I’ve been having some issues with the AIS as well. Definitely something I need to figure out. But overall… a pretty normal day out here. Exhausting, a bit frustrating at times, but with a few really good moments in between. 🌊🐬 ⚓ 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
