#75 Classic Mara

Mara (Helga Marie) joins Swinging the Lamp to walk through her decision to enter the Golden Globe Race — a solo, nonstop circumnavigation using 1968 technology: paper charts, sextant navigation, and strict restrictions on stopping or taking on supplies. She explains the appeal of pure, romantic sailing and the chance to disconnect, why astro navigation matters to her, and how live streaming three hours a day will let audiences share the highs and lows without changing her racing mindset. Expect candid talk about preparation, safety priorities, and mental stamina for eight months alone on the ocean.
