The time is NOW!!! Will I pass inspection?

9 days. And today Showgirl had her exam. I’ve spent months thinking about this inspection. Every modification, every piece of safety equipment, every stupid little detail that had me wondering, “Is this actually according to the rules?” Today there was nowhere left to hide. 😂 They came onboard, went through the list, checked the boat, checked the equipment, checked things I’ve probably checked myself 700 times by now... And long story short: WE PASSED. ✅ I don't think I realised how much space this inspection was taking up in my head until it was over. There are still things to finish, because apparently my to-do list intends to follow me right up until September 6. But this was a big one. Showgirl has officially been given the thumbs up. Now I can go back to worrying about the other 946 things I need to do before sailing solo around the world. 😂 9 days. Single digits. How did that happen? 🌊 ⚓ 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
