terrifying start to my solo Pacific crossing!! Up the mast alone at sea [ep 163]

There are times when I wish there was someone to help me on my sails.. these days were those. I wished so desperately I didn't have to hoist myself up the mast, that I could take a break from the rain and just dry off for an hour, and that I wouldn't have to get in the water to undo a line, alone. But these things are what make us stronger in the long run (that's what I tell myself?!). I wanted to give up and be rescued during these days, but the bad days always pass and the sun eventually comes out (: Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation is JUST beginning... all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako) PATREON COMMUNITY: https://www.patreon.com/laurenlanders Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/laurenalanders Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/souldelamar Mako Treats: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/laurenalanR Merchandise: https://www.souldelamar.com/shop/ Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/WT5UKPG3ITDP/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3 Things I USE & LOVE (these are affiliate links and helps me out a little bit): LEARN TO SAIL/BUY A BOAT: https://go.bluewatercruising.com/bwc-live-optin-zatara?am_id=lauren8197 SKINCARE: https://clearstem.com/LAURENLANDERS BATTERIES: https://bit.ly/449ep2q SUNSCREEN: https://stream2sea.com?wlr_ref=REF-PV6-IHR SUNGLASSES: https://glnk.io/y31nz/laurenlanders COFFEE: https://puritycoffee.com/?rfsn=7853225.2af24dd code: LAURENL20 COFFEE ALTERNATIVE: www.everydaydose.com/LAURENLANDERS AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/shop/_laurenlanders WATER FILTER FAUCET: https://www.acuvatech.com/shop/?ref=laurenlanders WATERMAKER!! https://seawaterpro.com?sca_ref=1453027.5f7Jd5tSOL Epidemic music: https://share.epidemicsound.com/f6x0cd Musicbed: https://www.musicbed.com/account/referralsInstagram instagram.com/laurenlanders instagram.com/makoatsea
