Whale (again!)
Blog by Lovis H. FALKEN Apprentice | Day 11 of the trip from Hawaii to Prince Rupert. This day started as misty as it ended. But out of the blue (actually the white) came a surprise. Another whale! It was alone and we only saw it twice before it returned back into the deep, but still! We think it was a humpback and that it was alone.

Day 11 of the trip from Hawaii to Prince Rupert. This day started as misty as it ended. But out of the blue (actually the white) came a surprise—another whale! It was alone and we only saw it twice before it returned back into the deep, but still! We think it was a humpback and that it was alone. We are also changing to Prince Rupert time, one hour at a time, and today I was on the “lucky watch” that only had a two-hour shift (just joking, but the real win is not having your rest cut). To end the day, we were treated to a “pudding,” which apparently is a dessert that is not necessarily pudding. Today it was, in fact, a blueberry crumble pie. The “pudding” was amazing—thanks, Mary!

40+ KNOTS IN A BLACKOUT NIGHT
By the time one reef was in, it was basically time for a second, and before 1930 we had two reefs and a partially furled headsail.
