Sailing solo across the Atlantic Ocean and day 31 was a hard one

Today was one of those days where I had a plan… and did absolutely none of it. It’s been insanely warm. Around 32 degrees, the warmest it’s been so far. And at first, there was basically no wind at all. Just heat sitting on top of everything. No movement, no airflow, nothing to cool it down. We were barely moving. At some point I changed the sails and adjusted course to more of a beam reach just to get some wind in and create a bit of speed. It pushed me a little too far north, but honestly, I needed it. Even just feeling some wind again made a huge difference. But yeah… the heat completely drained me today. I tried to get going, tried to do things, but at some point I basically just gave up and lay down. It honestly felt like I passed out for a while just because it was too much. So not a very productive day. Tomorrow the plan is simple: wake up earlier, get things done before the heat kicks in, and then survive the rest of the day if needed. It should also be a bit windier, which will help both with speed and just feeling human again. The only downside is that with how slow today was, we’re now a bit behind schedule. It’s starting to look like I might not make it in before Tuesday. Not ideal, but also… that’s sailing. Some days you push forward, some days you just get through. ⚓ 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.
