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.

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!).
Life of luxury
Today started with a Blue-Footed Booby on the bow amongst his Red-Footed, Nazca, and Brown Booby friends.
