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.

>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't solo circumnavigate Long Island in a Catalina 30 that suddenly think they'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.
