Day 34. The wind has died. Completely. Which means I’ve been hand steering… all day. It’s already been about 24 hours of it. Somehow, I’ve managed to get more sleep than I expected, just in short breaks, grabbing rest when I can. The track is definitely a bit zigzaggy… but honestly, overall it’s been pretty good. And I’ve actually felt quite good today. A lot more energy than I thought I would have. And then… we hit 100 nautical miles left. Holy Cannoli. That’s ridiculous. To celebrate, I jumped in for a swim to check the bottom of the boat. The swim itself was amazing. Warm water, clear, just floating there in the middle of the Atlantic thinking… this is insane. But the hull… Not amazing. It’s completely covered in barnacles. Way worse than I expected. It honestly feels like it must be slowing me down by at least a knot, maybe more. Not ideal at all. So now I’m thinking I might have to haul out in St. Martin, which really wasn’t part of the plan. I’ll see if I can clean some of it, but it’s pretty bad. But… not worrying about that right now. Because I’m so close. 100 miles to go. That’s nothing. Right now, it’s just about enjoying these last moments out here. Time to celebrate a little. 🌊 ⚓ 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.
