As I’m writing this, we are finishing cleaning FALKEN. This morning we arrived in Mexico, slipping in between the fog in what, for a while, looked exactly like our arrival into British Columbia. We managed to sail most of the night, despite the forecast predicting we would lose all wind by 1 a.m. We sailed all the way until we had 20 miles left, when the wind decided to die on us. It was a good end to what had been a day of exhilarating sailing, with the top speed of the day logged by Margaret—although some might mention it was in the wrong direction!
It feels surreal that we only left San Francisco five days ago. All the days kind of merge into one, and we’ve all become so close-knit. It feels truly special to be a part of something like FALKEN, making memories and sharing experiences with whoever is willing to step out of their comfort zone.
Thank you to all the crew for an incredible experience.

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.
