Would you try this?? ⛵️🌎 This is the exact method used almost a thousand years ago by travelers on the Silk Road. And yes, it’s works. Using a piece of string with a knot in it you can follow a line of latitude across any ocean or desert in the world, in the northern hemisphere, using Polaris. In the southern Hemisphere using the #SouthernCross (at an angle) and in the equatorial latitudes, using the suns meridian passage (with a bit more math for a later lesson). What do you think? Worth trying? #emergencytactics #offshoresailing #navigation #explore Follow Noa on Instagram 👉 @noathewhale

I’ve invested £100,000 of my own money into this dream, and I still need to raise at least £160,000 to reach the start line of the 2027 Global Solo Challenge. There are two ways you can help: become an official sponsor or send a personal message around the world with me through Notes on a Boat. Comment ZIMBO and I’ll show you how to become part of the journey 👇 #globalsolochallenge #sponsorship #solosailing #sailing _ _ _ _ _ I’m attempting to become the first Zimbabwean and the first person from a landlocked African nation to sail solo, non-stop around the world in the @globalsolochallenge 2027. Through Notes on a Boat, you can donate £10.30 (or more) and leave a message that I’ll carry around the world aboard Shamwari. Your note will travel in a waterproof canister and appear on the live race tracker once the journey begins. Comment ZIMBO to leave your note, donate or explore sponsorship opportunities.

Connecticut to Maryland delivery on Koloa Maoli – Quite a dynamic run with @hrichardsson43. Arrived to Pequot YC in Connecticut and moved the boat outside at sunset on a high tide, as we can only do the channel at higher tide there. Anchor down until 1 am and then we pulled the hook and had a nice sail right into New York City city, and then motored through it at sunrise. Always special to see New York. Got breeze and a straight shot out from the Statue of Liberty, and then had a ripper of a reach down the Jersey coast before a windy and challenging trip up Delaware Bay, short tacking in the night. Motor to the Canal and into the Chesapeake, and onto Baltimore. Sweet event with my sponsor Oakley Building Company this weekend and then the @annapolisboatshow next week, come see us while we are in town and shoot a DM if you wish to join our event on Saturday.

We were interviewed by Toyama TV! Toyama TV interviewed us about our challenge in the non-stop solo round-the-world race, the “Global Solo Challenge (GSC).” They interviewed not only about my own thoughts on the challenge, but also from a multi-faceted perspective, such as interviewing the president of my sponsor “Smile Hotel,” Mr. Tanaka, and my wife, in a very thorough manner. This challenge is not something I can undertake alone. We will inform you again once the broadcast date is decided! Follow 中山 寛樹 on Instagram 👉 @hiroki.1034

He crossed the Atlantic in a nutshell. He survived a hurricane with a broken boat. And his goal was always to reach the horizon. This Friday at 14h on YouTube with @juanmerediz #elhombredescalzo Follow El Hombre Descalzo on Instagram 👉 @elhombredescalzo_

Many times we are not satisfied with ourselves. It’s a real problem and almost no one says it out loud. I sail solo and I’ll tell you what I do: the foundation of everything is complicity with myself. Without that, there is no course that holds up. We keep going. #SoloSailing #Sailing #Sailboat #SelfEsteem #PersonalGrowth PersonalDevelopment MentalHealth Complicity SelfLove Reflection Overcoming Mindset

What’s happening under MOONPALACE? 🐬 The camera under the boat is not just for watching dolphins. 😎 It helps me check the keel, rudders, and hull below the waterline – I can quickly find out if I have caught anything, if there is a rope or net around the keel or rudder, and whether there is any damage after an impact or during a long voyage. And sometimes it offers such a visit. 🐬🌊 Follow Michal Krysta on Instagram 👉 @michalkrysta

Officially Half Way Around The World!! 🌎⛵️🌊 This morning at 0600 I crossed the Prime Meridian (180th meridian) which officially marks my sailing journey as half way around the world! 🍻 Since January this year Penelope and I have covered 14,000 miles!! But this is only the beginning.. In the next year I’m going to be sailing another 40,000+ as I begin the #VoyagetoCapeHorn and back up the Atlantic to Europe just to get to the start line of the @globalsolochallenge which is set to kick off September 2027 🤙 For everyone that’s supported the journey, thank you so much 🙏 I wouldn’t be able to do it without you all.

READY FOR THE NEXT MILES. ⛵️🌊🪢 The next part of the season is ahead of me. And the most important one. We are heading to Malta, where we will fight for the best possible placement in the Class40 at the Rolex Middle Sea Race. 🔥 Then we’ll head to Croatia for Jabuka, and from that moment everything will be geared towards the next big goal – the RORC Transatlantic Race, which we’ll start in January from Lanzarote. Thousands of miles await us, training, races, and lots of work on Moonpalace. I’m very glad that on board I can rely on the great ropes from @lanex.yachting and mainly that I have a partner behind me who provides great support. Thank you! 🙏 Ready for the next miles! 💪⛵️ 📸 @luciecanovova_photography #LanexYachting #Moonpalace #Class40 #RolexMiddleSeaRace #offshoresailing @globalsolochallenge 2027 💪 Follow Michal Krysta on Instagram 👉 @michalkrysta
