Day 17. Pretty blah day. We’re going upwind, but the waves keep pushing us back down. Struggling to stay on course, making very little progress. It’s uncomfortable, not very fun, and a bit frustrating to just watch the numbers not really change. Kind of one of those days where you just have to accept it and wait for things to shift. The one good thing… the sun was out. And that honestly made a difference. Just having light, warmth, and a bit of calm in between everything else. We ended up watching Mamma Mia!, which is always a good idea. So yeah, not the most exciting day sailing-wise. But not the worst day either. Just one of those in-between days. 🌊 ⚓ 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

One of the biggest upgrades cruisers make when upfitting their catamaran with lithium is to add an induction cooktop. In most cases the option is made to completely remove the propane system from the boat. I personally think the smarter play is to leave the propane system in place, and to have an induction cooktop that neatly fits over the factory propane stove. In the event you have an issue with either your battery system or your induction cooktop you have the ability to still cook off of the propane system. If you have any quesitons on lithium, upfitting your catamaran, or catamarans at large don't hesitate to reach out. Info@CatamaranCentral.com 754 778 SAIL www.CatamaranCentral.com
