day 2
The pole made an appearance overnight as we waved goodbye to the lights of Jamaica that accompanied us for the first part of our passage yesterday. As always, the first night involved some coaching on the helm as each of our crew settled into life under sail aboard Falken. The weather appears to be favourable in terms of facilitating our aspired stop in Grand Cayman, and so as I type, we continue to make fast speed and a good course to our waypoint there.
Chris made a delicious vegetarian feast last night, and Natalie surpassed herself once more this morning with a surprise breakfast of French toast for a delighted crew. There are rumours from the on watch that dolphins made an appearance at dawn, which never fails to lift the spirits after the first night at sea. We are already halfway, it would seem, and spirits are high on the good ship FALKEN.

After some nice rest and time to explore the Galapagos, it's now time to welcome a new crew to FALKEN and start a new adventure!

You’d think this crew bonding is borne on the back of shared mild discomfort - life’s steadfast instructor. But we have all of the mod cons - showers 2 - 3 times a day*, ice in our drinks **, great food (without fail!).
