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.

1,000 miles to go!
No amount of WD-40 will silence its determination to drive us mad, but if that is the price of warm scones at sea, I will certainly pay.
Land Ho’ing? Landing Ho? Making Landfall…
I never know exactly what to expect, but based on my past travels, every landfall is different.
The Downhill Run
We have been easily making 8 to 12 knot speeds and 200 nautical mile days.
