Last day of sailing today as we rounded the most westerly point of Cuba late last night. Its back to the coaching of the helm as many of the crew experience upwind conditions for the first time.

Last day of sailing today as we rounded the most westerly point of Cuba late last night. It's back to coaching at the helm as many of the crew experience upwind conditions for the first time. With a totally flat sea and warm airflow, the conditions are idyllic. We are currently waiting for the wind to back to the north to facilitate a tack that will put us directly on track to Hemingway Marina. The moon has lit the way throughout the night, and the sun will be reappearing very soon as we commence our final day of the voyage.

Sail Training!

By Alex. FALKEN Skipper | Yesterday we left Ensenada at around 08:30 in the morning. It was sunny and you could barely feel any wind in your face. We went through the process of hoisting sails and straight away we dived into reefing drills followed by tacking. After 6 reefs and 12 tacks, we decided to settle into the watch system and embrace the night.
