The Cape of South America is named Cape Horn. Cole Brauer is one tough sailor. You go girl!
Wow….nearly 45 years AFTER the first WOMAN to solo circumnavigate did it. Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz completed her round-the-world sail in 1978. But then Krystina didn't have the internet, MSM cheerleaders or a modern boat.

Inspiring other women? How about volunteering in your community? Working to help out other people
Been tracking all along. Multiple times per day. Watching the winds, weather and sea states. One bright spot of internet and social media being able to get a sense of the skill, urgency, handiness, unexpectedness, and fear these sailors have experienced. Beyond the ever-changing sail configurations, to being able to diagnose and fix critical electronic and hydro systems. Not mentioned that 2 sailors had to scuttle their boats, and many others bravely limped into a port after many days floundering with broken booms, autopilots, and electronics. Cole is an absolute gift, and I selfishly don't know what I'll do after she finishes! So freakin' impressive. And I've learned a ton!
Congratulations. You’re tough and determined. Happy for you.
I’m praying for you Cole🙏 I feel like your my child out there! I’m praying hard that you make it and make history! God bless you sweetheart 💕🙏💕 I pray you feel God’s presence with you😌
Go girl 👏👏👏
Cole is rocking it, so close to finishing. Hoping she does the Vendee. ❤❤❤
Don't stop you can do this good luck be with you go go go
Mega Cool !!! 💪👏👏👏💯🔥🙌😍
Awesome 👍🏽👍🏽
good job NBC 7 days late with this news …..after everyone else reported it. ………. This is an amazing girl
Such an incredible young lady!! I am thoroughly enjoying her journey as well as the other sailors.
I guarantee she's inspired other girls.
She’s an inspiration. Her story makes me care about a race I didn’t know about until today. Finish strong, Cole! We are cheering for you!
Great accomplishment but I wonder if all the many many men that have already done this have gotten as much publicity
MY HERO!
Yes 🔥 ❤️ this
I worked on vessels in the Gulf of Mexico for years. What she is doing is truly amazing. This takes a unique mental and physical state that most people don't have. Health and happiness, sailor…💯
❤ Love this awesome young lady!!! May GOD Bless You in ALL you do. Peace ✌️ from Saginaw Michigan Dontoons
As the father of 2 amazing and strong willed daughters, I salute you Cole! You are an inspiration
You go Cole!
Is this a job? Or…? Lol I'm confused
Yes!!!
Ladies GSD🥰🥰🥰
This is how legends are made.
Yoohoo!!!
who knew? all that blanko privilege really pays itself off waiting for this comment to be deleted and my account terminated because of hate speech…
wow
Hahahaha. Equality of convenience.
Cole is a rockstar!!! A true inspiration!
A man built the boat.
Doesn't matter she's not non binary nor a minority….
This woman is so inspiring. I wish mankind would take her as an example and embrace life with such fervor. Godspeed
We're so excited for you, Cole. You are single- handedly helping empower women by making your own dream come true! Sail on ⛵beautiful girl, you've got this!! Can't wait to see you on our TV screens in just a few short days! ⛵🌊🇺🇲🐬🐋
God speed and safe voyaging! I've always wondered about being on a sail boat and how one can master all waters
To prove you can be homless at sea too? Like get yourself some better challenges but when ya fishing for sponsorships. Why not right lol. Manufacturing reality
Let us know when she is done. Thanx
Cole Brauer, she has true girl power, she is amazing, I will be showing my kids this report, about this powerful woman. Be safe, finish your mission safely.
Cheers 🍺🍻🍺,
DC
They also breast feed and wear tampons and some service a man nicely. Why is this one special?
Go Cole! Just extraordinary!
Truly Amazing!
Love Cole!!! Her instagram landed in my feed and I have no idea how but I’m so glad it did! I’m on pins and needles until this amazing kiddo is safe at home! Such an incredible human being! I’ll be celebrating her welcome home with my nails painted white and holding a cup of cappuccino and eating a croissant hoping I can find some peeps in the PNW to celebrate with me! You rock Cole!!! WoooHooo!!!
Go Cole, go!!! 💪💪
Amazing what a person can do with a couple of million dollars backing you.
I'm impressed. Any man would be proud to father her children.
Get it! 💪🏽
