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

The sun sets on another journey
The hardest part of sailing across French Polynesia wasn't the night watches, the heat, or the open ocean — it was the prospect of being trapped on a small boat with a group of strangers. First-timer Natalie boards as a self-described land crab and discovers that the sea has a way of reshaping both your sea legs and your assumptions. What follows is dolphins, sharks, the Milky Way in full technicolour, and a crew that somehow made the whole thing better than she ever imagined.
