This Problem Could Have Ended My Solo Sailing Dream

I finally got the boat out of the water… and straight into reality. This is my first time owning a boat, and right now it feels like the boat owns me. Electrical problems everywhere. Wires that don’t make sense. Systems that should work… but don’t. And let me tell you, when you’re alone at sea, electrics aren’t just annoying… they’re scary. But this is exactly why I’m doing this. Every problem now is a lesson I won’t have to learn the hard way later. Every mistake, every frustrating hour tracing cables and questioning life choices… it’s all preparation for something bigger. Because the goal is still clear: the Golden Globe Race. Alongside the chaos, we’re making real progress. Working on the rig, getting the mast setup dialed in, installing new systems, and adding a second roller furler to make the boat more efficient and manageable offshore. It’s not smooth. It’s not pretty. But we’re moving forward. And that’s what matters _________________________ ⚓ 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 __________________________ 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
