#6. Cuba to Bermuda | Day 4

Saturday May 6, 2024

Hello everyone! What a great day today has been. Everyone onboard is smelling extremely well and looking very fresh and the reason for that is that today we hove-to to have a mid-Ocean dip! That's right, we went in the water and had a beautiful swim and clean before jumping back onboard to carry on sailing. Everyone is with the morale high and the wind has shown slight signs of wanting to change direction, but as for now....Still upwind! I am pretty sure the wind Gods are having a bit of a laugh at Chris and I as we await for this wind shift that should have happened about 2 days ago.... but in terms of upwind sailing I do have to admit that it doesn't get any better than this: flat sea state, 10 knots of True Wind Speed and about 8 knots of boat speed, it's like the paradise for upwind sailing!

For dinner I have made my homemade lasagna which is currently slowly cooking in the oven and is filling the air with a lovely smell, the watches have just shifted and people are going down to nap before dinner. So not much to say, life is beautiful onboard FALKEN at the moment as we enjoy every second of what this world is giving us which is full sunshine, perfect breeze and a whole bunch of extraordinary people. Love to everyone.
