Solo sailing from Morocco to Sint Marteen with my sailboat

Five weeks later, I wasn’t sure I wanted it to end. Somewhere in the middle of more than 4,000 nautical miles alone at sea, something changed. I stopped simply trying to complete my qualification and started genuinely loving the life I had out there. The routines became normal. I trusted Showgirl more. I trusted myself more. And at one point, I even started wondering… what if I just kept going west? 😂 Of course, Showgirl made sure I didn’t get *too* comfortable. There were sails to repair, more problems with the gas system and, towards the end, the engine decided it wanted some attention again. But that was exactly why I was out there. Every problem I found during this crossing was one more problem I could solve before the Golden Globe Race. And then, after five weeks alone at sea, I arrived. I had sailed more than 4,000 nautical miles solo and non-stop across the Atlantic. I had qualified for the Golden Globe Race. But I think I came away with something much more important than a qualification. I left wondering whether I could spend eight months alone at sea. I arrived knowing that I could. And, maybe more importantly, knowing that I actually wanted to. ⚓ 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 week ------------------------------------------ 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
