First Solo Voyage on Stella Nova: A 134-Mile Prelude to the Global Solo Challenge

First time alone on Stella Nova.

20 hours, 134 nautical miles. Out of Port-Camargue, around the Gulf of Lion and back. Steady breeze, clear skies, deep blue water — and nobody on board to take the next watch. No drama, no repairs. Just the boat, the autopilot and me.

134 miles on SUI-134. Some coincidences you just take.

And that was only the warm-up: Now or Never Tour 2027 — June, solo to the Azores and back. October, the start of the Global Solo Challenge.

Now or never.
