A solo sailor competing in the Golden Globe Race reports on current progress, boat handling, and equipment status while navigating toward Trinidad Island. The sailor maintains a course between 210 and 230 degrees, struggling with light, inconsistent trade winds that recently forced a jibe and left the boat becalmed.5:03:46 The vessel carries a full main and full genoa, with the sailor aiming for a more southerly heading of 190 degrees to optimize the route toward Brazil.5:04:20 Technical challenges include a GoPro camera that interferes with the compass heading by approximately 10 degrees when mounted.5:15:51 The sailor monitors weather and race updates via HF radio, noting reliable reception for BBC broadcasts while experiencing variable communication with other fleet members.5:17:59 The narrative includes reflections on previous anchorages at Saint Helena and Oapua, emphasizing the importance of heavy-duty ground tackle, specifically 10mm chain and a 12mm rode, for deep-water moorings.5:27:10 The sailor also recommends a specific Mini Globe Race boat currently available for purchase, noting its new rigging, outboard, and double-axle trailer.5:56:09
