#7 | Sailing Solo Around the World | 36hr Sail Repair at Point Nemo

In this episode I describe how I overcame disaster and completed 36hrs of stitching to repair my badly damaged mainsail in terrible conditions close to 'Point Nemo' in the Southern Ocean.

When physically and emotionally I am at the end of my tether an unexpected visitor turns my situation around and gives me the catalyst I need to come back fighting.

I also answer a fantastic question sent in by a listener and discuss Spartan's entry in the Ocean Globe Race in 2023
