Day 11. Pretty exhausting day. The night started gusty, and we ended up hand steering most of it just to keep the boat going downwind. At some point we managed to adjust the sails and get things a bit more balanced, which helped a lot. In the morning, we set up wing on wing and decided to try a warp line to stabilize the boat. We used about 100 feet of line, a chain, and a fender… and it actually made a big difference. The boat settled down a lot more, which was a relief. Later, the wind shifted, so we had to change things up again and kept adapting as the day went on. It’s been a rough one. Five meter waves have been pretty normal, and we’ve been soaked more times than I can count from waves crashing over. Most of the day we’ve been sitting on the floor to eat, because it’s the only place that feels stable. But… we’ve also been flying. We hit a new speed record, averaging around 7 knots for most of the day, which is pretty wild. So yes, fun to go fast. But also very tiring. I won’t mind if it calms down a bit tomorrow. 🌊 ⚓ 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

Giorno 28 - MARSALA Ultimo giorno di Mia a bordo di Julia. Domani torneremo a Torino per fare una cosina di cui vi parleremo e lei verrà con noi. Poi, quando torneremo qui, lei rimarrà a casa. Questa gatta è stata una vera forza della natura. Ci eravamo preparati al peggio e invece ha vissuto il mese in mare come se non avesse mai fatto altro in vita sua. È stata una presenza importante a bordo. Una creatura che ha imparato a muoversi nella sua nuova tana, nonostante sia risaputo quanto i gatti siano animali abitudinari. In questi giorni i saluti sono ricorrenti e prepararci a non avere più una pallina grigia tra i piedi si preannuncia un compito difficile. Vorrei tanto potesse venire con noi. Dato che prenderemo un aereo, ci portiamo solo lo stretto indispensabile, perciò la maggior parte delle sue cose rimarrà qui, a bordo, a ricordarci che Julia ha ospitato la marinaia più dolce, coraggiosa ed eccezionale che sia mai esistita. E noi non stiamo piangendo affatto 😭
