Mara, a solo sailor three weeks into her first-ever solo offshore passage, speaks from mid-Atlantic — roughly 2,500 nautical miles from Morocco and still about 14 days from St. Martin in the Caribbean.▶ 1:36 The crossing is a qualifying sail for the Golden Globe Race, requiring 4,000 non-stop nautical miles in the same boat she plans to race; her plotted route, including a waypoint south of the rhumb line, will produce almost exactly 4,000 miles.▶ 6:09 She left Morocco on 18 February after a month-long delay in Gibraltar caused by a rigger who ghosted her and a recurring engine fault traced to a glow plug staying permanently energized.▶ 5:11 Boat preparation during the delay included new sails, an upgraded electrical system, and a Starlink-based livestream that has drawn over one million viewers on YouTube.▶ 7:16 She describes sleep management in the shipping lanes — starting with five-minute rest intervals and extending to roughly two-hour stretches once traffic thinned — and using AIS alarms alongside phone alarms.▶ 14:09 Wind has run mostly 16–23 knots with occasional 40-knot gusts at night; no rain.▶ 18:22 After arriving in St. Martin she plans about a week of boatwork before sailing back toward France, aiming to arrive by 1 June.▶ 21:27 She confirms her September Golden Globe Race start, despite mid-passage doubts that resolved once she turned west.▶ 24:38
