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,

Dolphin party!
Kate was about to yank the spinnaker’s sock down when I spotted a stampede of fins heading straight for us. ”Dolphins!”, I yelled back to the cockpit excitedly. Post dinner dish duty was halted down below for the show.
The pool is open!
We stopped the boat, got the ladder down and put out a line with a fender behind the boat. I love swimming in the middle of the ocean, and a bit scary when you realize its more than 4000+ m deep! Love it!
Big Pink Sail Day
I had a most fashionable pointed striped hat at dinner, and out of the depths of a cupboard a cake was created, after 14 days at sea. A group of people I had never met two weeks ago made me feel very special today.
