Day 2
FALKEN DAY 1
March 31, 2024
It's been an idyllic introduction to offshore sailing for those on the crew who have never experienced it before. The relatively calm waters of the Caribbean Sea, alongside a sky of stars and a beautiful three-quarter moon, perfectly complemented the reaching conditions gifted by the breeze. The biggest challenge is managing the heat, and the night hours provided some well-needed respite. The watch system is underway, and the team has adapted perfectly to our new rhythm of life on the good ship FALKEN.

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.
