Sailing!
It was a Dark and Stormy (in the distance) night. The Milky Way and stars filled the sky. Falken continued south by southeast, with a course of 200 degrees. We were guided by the Southern Cross off the bow, and approximately 35 Brown Boobies who were hitching a ride. Dolphins creating streaks of bio illuminances. After sunrise and breakfast, Alex led an hour of instruction on Celestial Navigation, and how to operate the sextant. From late morning to mid afternoon, the seas remained calm and flat until about 1430. The wind picked up to about 12 knots as we passed Isle de Cocos at 1545. At 1630, engine went off. The smell of dinner being created by Adam in the galley filled the breeze, and we will be sailing off into the sunset tonight with ice cream!!!

Between Passages
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.
