Pre-Departure
After a few days exploring the wonders of Habana, FALKEN and her crew are ready to set sail and point the bow to Bermuda… well, just about. Chris and I are once again sailing together, which means that most of the passage is going to be upwind! We are all very excited to get underway. The weather looks very clear and stable, and many are looking forward to experiencing the Gulf Stream firsthand. For Chris and me, it’s another passage sailing with a friend, meeting new incredible people, and being able to share our passion for sailing! Follow our daily updates during the next few days! – Alex

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.
