#7A. FALKEN | Tahiti Cruising | Leaving tahiti

Sunday, 25 May, 2025 |

A great day was had by all yesterday as the new crew of the good ship FALKEN came together for the first time and began the safety briefing process. It’s good to see an eclectic mix of cultures and our French Canadien contingent will be really helpful in our communications locally over the next week. Passage plan in place we set sail for Bora Bora at 1100 this morning.

Some fresh easterlies will make for a fast downwind passage and we will be keeping an eye on the swell that is moving in from the south over the coming days as we evolve our itinerary. We had an excellent crew meal ashore last night accompanied by some Tahitian musicians to add to the atmosphere - a fitting way to begin an exciting cruising passage through some of the Society Islands.
