#89 | Global Solo Challenge | Intro to the racers already on the water.

This episode is the first I am going to do about the Global Solo Challenge Race that I intend to join in early December.  I’m still a little way off on the last funding to get the project over the start line but I figure its best to throw myself in completely and go for broke rather than tippy toe around the edges any longer. Presently, my Open 60 Falcon is 95% read to go, I have time available to complete my qualifier (A Transat) and most importantly I have a solid chance at winning. My GSC start date is December 9th 2023. * If you have any ideas about my mixing elbow for a Yanmar 3JH2-TE engine or anything else that might help get Falcon to the start of the Global Solo Challenge, please email me at csmthemariner@gmail.com * Sponsorship/ donations to Paypal: csmoffshore@gmail.com * If you want to access more content and show support for this podcast please join me at: www.patreon.com/themariner  * If you want to hear me reading sailing stories that I have chosen as being beneficial to developing seamanship skills, please look for ’The Mariner’s Library’ wherever you get your podcasts.
