#8. FALKEN | Tahiti to Hawaii | Wind!

Sunday, June 10, 2025 | Wind of all kinds

The common consensus was that yesterday gave us a little bit of everything. Squally weather with large downfalls of cool rain, no wind, some wind, wind in the right direction, wind in the wrong direction, some birds and a large birthday tuna caught by the birthday girl, Mary. As today brings less wind and the rumble of the motor we have the opportunity to do some essential ocean skills, like making sushi and winch maintenance.

Being at sea is a great time to be reflective and listen to what comes up. FALKEN is definitely an example of why safe harbours are not meant for ships, she spent too long in the boatyard, left and unused before we even took on the project of her refit. Those months inside the shed felt never ending, a goal insight but difficult to comprehend. It’s been a while since I have been to sea, to do a long passage or an ocean crossing and I’m starting to wonder if, like FALKEN, I am also not meant for marinas, boatyards and safe harbours.
