#6. Cuba to Bermuda | Day 1

Friday May 3, 2024

What a first 24 hours run for FALKEN and her crew! We can see the skyline of Miami as I write this, which means that, with the help of the Gulf Stream, FALKEN has sailed over 214nm upwind in 24 hours, pretty impressive! Last night was a tough one as we found ourselves battling with a sea state that was produced from wind against the current, it was choppy, windy and very uncomfortable but FALKEN and her crew managed to punch through it like champs.

Today started with more of the same but the wind has been calming down and now we find ourselves with a beautiful day, sailing along at 10-11 knots as everyone starts to get their sea legs. The weather is looking favourable for us as it should start veering to the South between tonight and tomorrow, meaning we will be able to ease the sails, go quicker and be even more comfortable. Weather wise looks like we're gonna have to take the long route around pretty settled High Pressure but the weather router is indicating for a pretty Epic sail!
