Just gotta say, these past 5 days with the FALKEN crew on the boat were like living in a dream. Chris, Libby, Mark, Kelley, Rich, and Tim, you guys made it epic.In our crazy world, it's so easy to be stuck thinking about the past or stressing about what's next. But man, being in the moment, staring at stars, catching sunrises and sunsets – that's what’s all about!

Just gotta say, these past five days with the FALKEN crew on the boat were like living in a dream. Chris, Libby, Mark, Kelley, Rich, and Tim, you guys made it epic. In our crazy world, it's so easy to be stuck thinking about the past or stressing about what's next. But being in the moment—staring at stars, catching sunrises and sunsets—that's what it's all about! Shoutout to my FALKEN crew: this wasn't just a trip; it's like we wrote our own story. Cheers to sea tales and the cool bonds we made under the open sky. Stepping off the boat, I've got a bit of each of you packed in my memories. Good times!

From Alex, Mia, and Jojo, we want to thank every single one of you for joining us on this trip. It has been truly fantastic!

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.
