It is finally happening!!!! 4 weeks at sea alone coming to an end

Another squally day. They’ve been coming through nonstop, one after the other. Dark clouds rolling in, wind picking up, then easing again… all day. It makes everything feel a bit hectic, like you’re constantly one step away from needing to adjust something. So I decided to play it safe early. Two reefs in the main, two in the genoa. Just settled the boat down and took the pressure off. After that, everything felt a lot more manageable, and I didn’t have to keep second-guessing every gust or cloud passing by. Today ended up being more of an office day than anything else. Spent most of it working on sponsors. Reaching out, pitching, following up, trying to get conversations going. It’s one of those things that doesn’t feel very “Atlantic crossing” when you’re doing it, but it’s such a big part of making this whole project possible. And honestly… it matters. A lot. I still squeezed in a bit of a workout and some singing, as usual. Those small routines keep the day balanced. But yeah, overall, today was a work day. And tomorrow might be a big one. If everything goes as planned, by sunset I’ll be turning north. Which feels a bit crazy to even say. 🌊 ⚓ 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
