Solo round-the-world sailor Cole Brauer:first two weeks I cried every single day

I've heard no one escapes a solo sail of longer than a week or two without going a little crazy. I wonder if Starlink (and having that connection to the rest of the world) changes that a little bit.

This article seems to be more concerned with the social crusade and PR effect of the trip rather than the actual voyage. I have nothing about this political goal per se — what's wrong with promoting a sport and creating a more accessible image for it? — but it's just not that interesting to read about.

By the way, if you&#x27;re into round-the-world solo racing, this is your reminder that the Vendee Globe just started last, Sunday!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vendeeglobe.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vendeeglobe.org&#x2F;</a> and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PL4D2712YsGHIV9kjfOTblYd5_S7EzqBpP" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PL4D2712YsGHIV9kjfOTbl...</a> for the onboard videos.

This article is fluff. Teenage women have solo circumnavigated, such as:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tania_Aebi" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tania_Aebi</a>

&gt;Cole Brauer, the girl who “didn’t grow up in a yacht club”, has been fortunate to get financial backing from a sponsor who is more of a philanthropist, supporting her throughout and demanding little in return.

I see a lot of people in this thread who probably couldn&#x27;t solo circumnavigate Long Island in a Catalina 30 that suddenly think they&#x27;re entitled to criticize this accomplishment. Go try 130 days of 4 hours sleep a night through the roughest oceans on the planet in a tiny sailboat.
