#10. Ireland to Norway| Pre-Departure

July 3, 2024
FALKEN // LEG 10 // Crew arrive - introductions and laughter

We have had a busy few days preparing Falken for her next trip from Galway Ireland to Bergen in Norway.
This included a deck wash and filling the water tanks from a fire hydrant. Then to fill the tanks with diesel a lovely man arrived in little fuel lorry with tales of fishing under sail. The welcome here in Ireland has been wonderful.

The boat was ready and the crew arrived excited and ready for our exciting trip. Between sunshine and showers we got to know each other, allocated bunks, did a deck walk and a domestic brief.

We ended the day with a great meal out in beautiful Galway. It is always so special how a new crew come together and become a team. The magic has started. Let’s hope we have some great weather.
