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 downtime 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

After some nice rest and time to explore the Galapagos, it's now time to welcome a new crew to FALKEN and start a new adventure!

You’d think this crew bonding is borne on the back of shared mild discomfort - life’s steadfast instructor. But we have all of the mod cons - showers 2 - 3 times a day*, ice in our drinks **, great food (without fail!).
Life of luxury
Today started with a Blue-Footed Booby on the bow amongst his Red-Footed, Nazca, and Brown Booby friends.
