PRE-DEPARTURE, DAY 2
The feeling of excitement has been growing amongst the crew as we finish preparing for our voyage to Mindelo. Today was all about weather briefings, routing, and pilotage and looking at some of the other safety equipment that Falken has to offer. The crew took some last minute down time to pick up any luxury items, and local shopkeepers commented on how many boats were waiting out the weather for a more favourable window.

It's been a perfect combination of sail training, preparation, and familiarisation, and as the sun returns to us, we are ready to embark on the epic journey ahead. The excitement is tangible! / Emily
