Leg 1 Vindön-Bergen | Day 2
Sails came up just outside the Hallberg-Rassy yard, and out west we went. Everybody was smiling as Sweden sunk into the ocean behind us, mobile phones went dead, and it was just us sailing along to a destination two days away. Now the night has surrounded us. Ken is alone behind the wheel looking at the stars, I'm by the nav station getting warm while writing this, and the rest of the crew is sleeping. It is blowing 10 knots and we are doing 6.5 knots on a beam reach. ISBJØRN is just as happy as her crew. All is well.

Rocket Launched into the Trades
The best almond croissant in the world only appeared once—and then vanished for days, taking a piece of Skipper Mary's soul with it. Meanwhile, FALKEN is tearing through the Pacific at 10 knots, a customs officer is threatening birthday fines, and a pod of dolphins just showed up to see the crew off. Leg 7 to Hawaii is underway, and it's already a lot to keep up with.
Hat overboard!
On June 4, we reviewed our passage plan before our departure from the marina in Hjellested.
