2016 across the world non-stop championships (2016SC) is one of the world's craziest sailing races. With 25 participants from across the globe in the state of the art yachts will sail over many days and months. It also holds the highest insanity rate, because the race must be completed solo.

Receiving help is one of the highest treasons.

Levi Ackerman, representing France, is participating in place of Erwin Smith after he broken his leg in an accident. Erwin had not only chosen Levi because he had some sailing experience up his sleeve but he was also because he seemed crazy enough. Levi after hearing his reasoning simply replied "Tch".

So that is how Levi found himself sailing under the Cape of Good Hope(the bottom of Africa) in front of everyone, in a million dollar boat and setting a new world record. He had started in France only 6 days ago and already was the crowd favourite.

He was adjusting a rope near the front of the boat as the tone of the onboard computer rang. Sighing to himself as he stood up and balanced himself and walked into the under deck. He sat in front of the camera and pressed the ok button.

"Hello Levi" Erwin's face filled the screen blond hair and all, from the look of it he was in HQ. "Hey" Levi replied, voice a little rusty. He was not using it that much lately, he wasn't going to talk to himself, that's stupid. "You are setting a new world record" "Hm", "You are way in front" "Oh"… "Levi, you are not going mad I hope"… "Whatever", "Just don't wreck my boat" "Yeah, ok".

Levi walked back upstairs and stared at the sea around him. The wind was strong yet not vicious and the water was a deep blue as it tumbled everywhere. The sky was covered in grey clouds but not threatening to rain. The boat creaked at every wave it fell down on and the sail was full of wind. He was in his huge red waterproof suit which made him simply feel like a penguin. Overall he was fine.

He was that is.

A loud crash and Levi was thrown to the side. The boat tilting on a huge angle, the sails were flapping, ropes everywhere and water was spraying everywhere. "Fuck" Levi yelled as he stood/climbed up and reached for the wheel. Quickly turning off the autopilot and steadying the boat. Levi breathed a loud sigh of relief. Once the boat was upright he turned the autopilot back on and went downstairs towards the computer.

He quickly called Erwin, breaking something can be fatal, could also even lead to leaving the race. Erwin answered and once again his face was up on the screen. "Levi, we were watching you on the tracker, your boat has made a very drastic zig zag". Levi answered "I think I ran into something, there was a loud crash then I lost control". Erwin looked very deep in thought. "Hold on I will get Hanji". He then quickly limped off. Levi ran his hands through his hair, He often did not enjoy talking to Hanji, but she was the engineer of the boat and could help.

The boat was going slower, it could feel it. He looked around the under deck, it was dark. He was sitting at the table that was bolted to the floor with two computers and many maps and other boating things. "LEVI" Levi quickly turned to the screen. Hanji face was serious and her brown hair fell from her ponytail. "Hanji" Levi replied. "Erwin told me what happened, it sounds like your keel was damaged" "So what do I do?" "You can repair it there are extras, you will have to stop somewhere" "That will affect the race" "A few days behind or broken boat, you tell me what's best".

"Fine".
