Day 6 alone crossing the Atlantic Ocean heading to France

Day 6 at sea. Day 2 of getting ripped at sea. I’ve continued with my workout program and focusing properly on my nutrition, and honestly, I’m finding the whole thing really interesting. On my previous crossing, I tracked what I ate, but more just in quantity. This time I’m actually tracking calories and paying attention to the nutritional side of it all, making sure I’m getting enough protein and eating in a way that makes me feel good. And one thing that surprised me is how many calories I actually need out here. My first thought was that I should need way less because technically I spend more time sitting or lying down than I would on land. But then I started thinking about how your body is always working at sea. Even when I’m resting, my body is constantly stabilizing itself, adjusting to movement, stopping myself from falling over, reacting to every wave and motion. And I think that constant engagement changes way more than you realize. So weirdly enough, the amount I need to eat is actually pretty similar to land life. Sometimes maybe even more. Which I honestly found fascinating. Other than that, it’s been a pretty normal day at sea. I experimented a bit with food and ended up making some absolutely amazing desserts. Healthy, high protein, actually delicious. So overall… very productive day for both sailor me and gym bro me. 🌊💪 ⚓ 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.
