Cosa tratta questo video

Kirsten Neuschäfer, the 2022 Golden Globe Race winner, speaks with Jojo Pickering about life after the GGR, the Northwest Passage transit, her book *All Good K*, and celestial navigation technique.0:04 At the time of recording, Neuschäfer is anchored off Thetis Island on the northern Alaskan coastline aboard a 53-foot Galant, waiting out westerlies before continuing to Point Barrow and through the Bering Sea — a delivery from Scotland to Seattle via Iceland, Greenland, and the Canadian Arctic.2:25 She describes the passage as treacherous but visually extraordinary, with frequent anchoring to wait for safe conditions.3:23 On the GGR, she identifies the southern latitude limit as her biggest frustration, calling it an arbitrary penalty risk that constrained routing, while the photo gates she accepted as adding excitement.16:10 Her three tips for future GGR entrants: do as much boatwork yourself as possible to know the boat inside out; enjoy every minute rather than treating the race as something to endure; and treat the experience as a privilege.37:08 On celestial navigation, she describes using a near-vertical sun sight before noon to establish approximate longitude, then projecting forward to anticipate the meridian passage.20:06 She also discusses the GGR's financial reality, carrying remaining debt from the campaign, and her ambivalence about social media.33:42
