20,000 miles on Maiden!
By Belle (Belinda Henry)
As I was chilling in my bunk during my off watch yesterday listening to a podcast, Amalia popped over with a chocolate and said "Happy 20,000!!"
20,000 Miles!
Also, only a few days ago I was having my 1 year anniversary with The Maiden Factor team! I took a moment to reflect on the journey that has passed. from seeing Maiden in the shipyard shed as a shell, working with the team on her restoration, watching her first touch the water, sailing the maiden voyage to London, to now having sailed all of Maiden’s 20,000 miles with her....I took a moment to reflect on the journey that has passed: from seeing Maiden in the shipyard shed as a shell, working with the team on her restoration, watching her first touch the water, sailing the maiden voyage to London, to now having sailed all of Maiden’s 20,000 miles with her....
What a ride it has been!!
Good days, bad days, blue skies, rough seas, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, dolphins, whales, epic sailing, endless laughter and also tears; tears from frustration and exhaustion to tears of joy as you are completely overwhelmed by the endless support and encouraging words we are constantly receiving from all over the world.
It's an absolute honour and pleasure to be a part of The Maiden Factor team, as we sail around the world on our mission of raising awareness and funds for girls' education and women's empowerment.
Bring on the next 20,000!!
