March 1, 2025 | Champagne Sailing to San Blas!
So good to finally get out on Falken after visiting her in Gosport back in 2023. Perfect sailing conditions from Cartagena, Colombia to the San Blas Islands. 15-20 knots on the beam, 8+ knots over the ground. One reef in the main and full Yankee—Falken is a real joy to sail. Great team effort on the pilotage out of a busy port and a challenging entry into San Blas, coming through reefs and shallows. Sensibly planned in daylight and hopefully with bright sunlight. Starry skies, Southern Cross, Milky Way, phosphorescence, and champagne sailing. What’s not to love? Dave
