day 3
October 3, 2024, 12:35 UTC | Day 3
Well, it's day 3 of passage, and we are now flying the Yankee and staysail and have a reef in the main. Back on the wind means a slightly more challenging below decks life for the team, but everyone is taking it in their stride. We were blessed with hundreds of dolphins last night that gave us a remarkable acrobatic display ahead of sunset. With 86 nm until our waypoint off Finisterre, it's almost halfway for the FALKEN team of adventurers. This evening, we expect a short lull in conditions, which we will once again time to charge our batteries, and then it looks like life on a heel until we reach our final destination of Lagos. All happy campers here at the bottom of Biscay.
