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!

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.
