Installed a brand new secondary fuel tank to increase my diesel capacity for the nonstop circumnavigation. It felt like a big step forward, until I realised I’d been driving my van with no oil for a week. Bone dry. Turns out I can only manage one machine at a time. #VanLife In September 2026 I will begin a 30,000 mile solo nonstop circumnavigation of the planet aboard my 1998 Pacific Seacraft 40, "Phoenix do Mar", meaning Phoenix of the Sea in Portuguese. Departing from Port Townsend, Washington, this voyage will cross the world’s most remote oceans in one continuous passage and take up to eight months to complete. Follow along as I prepare for departure and attempt one of the greatest challenges in sailing. 🌐 All My Links beacons.ai/sailing_phoenix 📍 Live Tracker forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/SY_Phoenix 👕 Official Merch sailingwithphoenix.myspreadshop.com 📸 Instagram - instagram.com/sailing_with_phoenix 🎵 TikTok - tiktok....
