Day 4

Another night in paradise aboard the good ship FALKEN, and I awoke to the dulcet tones of Chris shaking out reefs. Our downwind sleigh ride continued through last night after a dinner of traditional Jamaican 'rundown' courtesy of Natalie, and both watches delivered a formidable performance in sometimes tricky seas. The conversations on night watch have taken a familiar downward turn into the peculiar and sometimes downright obscure, in a way that will be familiar to any offshore sailor. As for our destination, it grows ever closer as Chris revels in maximizing sail area. Another hot one ahead for the team.
