February 15, 2025 | Dolphins and Flying Fish
Falken is flying furiously downwind with two reefs in the main and the jib on a pole. We had our first sighting of dolphins, who were accompanied by a school of flying fish trying desperately to escape their demise. Spirits are high and I couldn’t be more impressed with what eight total strangers in the middle of an ocean can accomplish with great leadership. Human spirit at its finest.

Dolphin party!
Kate was about to yank the spinnaker’s sock down when I spotted a stampede of fins heading straight for us. ”Dolphins!”, I yelled back to the cockpit excitedly. Post dinner dish duty was halted down below for the show.
The pool is open!
We stopped the boat, got the ladder down and put out a line with a fender behind the boat. I love swimming in the middle of the ocean, and a bit scary when you realize its more than 4000+ m deep! Love it!
Big Pink Sail Day
I had a most fashionable pointed striped hat at dinner, and out of the depths of a cupboard a cake was created, after 14 days at sea. A group of people I had never met two weeks ago made me feel very special today.
