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.

Panik mitt ute till havs när autopiloten slutar fungera. Vi har 3 dygn kvar till Panama och om vi ej får ordning på den behöver vi handstyra i 78h! Det låter kanske inte så jobbigt, men det är det. Autopiloten är vår tredje person som styr, som gör att vi kan ha händerna lite mer fria och ta hand om allt inklusive barnen. Utan autopilot hade vi aldrig gett oss ut på denna långsegling. Sagt och gjort, jag får sätta mig och handstyra medan Niklas öppnar luckorna ner till autopiloten för att se om vi kan se vad som hänt. Och självklart händer detta med 4m höga krabba vågor mitt i den välkända accelerationszonen utanför Colombia med 14-15m/s och som är kämpig redan som den är. Vi hittar vad som gått sönder och Niklas lyckas tillfälligt laga det. 🛠 Vi har filmat lite men behöver just nu fokusera att ta oss i mål, men vi kommer visa och berätta mer på söndagens avsnitt till Youtube (@sowhyknot) om vad som hänt och hur vi löste det. Nu håller vi tummarna för att det håller till Panama. Vi pustar ut lite, men är helt slut efter denna pärs! Nu är vi lite låga på energi 🪫, först efter dålig sömn pga accelarationszonens jobbiga vågor och sen efter denna händelse. Nu längtar vi till Panama och fast land igen. Bara 3 dygn kvar... om inget mer strular... Kommentera gärna med 💙 om ni vill ge oss lite pepp sista dagarna!
