Departure
November 17, 2025 | Location: Ensenada, 08:00 Local Time
After two days of thorough training on shore, learning the systems, doing dry drills, and learning about what to look for when purchasing a boat, FALKEN and her crew are ready for the next stage of this Sail Training: the Offshore phase! The plan is to head towards some of the Channel Islands as we drill different scenarios under way, from nailing reefing and sail trimming to storm tactics, MOB, and abandoning ship. Weather looks fun for the first night with a little front coming our way before lightening the next couple of days. Everyone is looking forward to what’s going to be a very intense three nights offshore! Updates soon,

The sun sets on another journey
The hardest part of sailing across French Polynesia wasn't the night watches, the heat, or the open ocean — it was the prospect of being trapped on a small boat with a group of strangers. First-timer Natalie boards as a self-described land crab and discovers that the sea has a way of reshaping both your sea legs and your assumptions. What follows is dolphins, sharks, the Milky Way in full technicolour, and a crew that somehow made the whole thing better than she ever imagined.
