Last week on the Showgirl

I don't think I'll ever be able to thank Guernsey enough. What was supposed to be a quick stop turned into one of the most important weeks of my preparation for the Golden Globe Race. Every day seemed to uncover another problem. Just when we thought we'd reached the end of the list, something else broke. It was frustrating... but it also meant we were finding these issues here, not halfway around the world. A huge thank you to Mark at Inox, Scott and the whole team at Boatworks, and Matt at Fastcraft. You didn't just fix a boat. You gave me back the confidence I needed to sail her around the world. I'm finally back in the water and heading towards France. The work isn't over. Not even close. The to-do list is still long enough to make me wonder how I'm going to fit everything into the next five weeks. But for the first time in a while, I feel like I'm moving forwards instead of just putting out fires. Five weeks. Then the worries stay ashore, and Showgirl and I head off on the biggest adventure of our lives. If you'd like to follow the journey, you're in exactly the right place. And if you'd like to help me get to the starting line, or know someone who'd like to be part of this adventure, you can find all the ways to support the project at www.classicmara.com. Let's go finish this. 🌊 ⚓ 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 Buy Me a Coffe: https://buymeacoffee.com/classicmara __________________________ 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
