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.
