This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Great that you are fixing lots of problems before you leave. Seems you have given Brenda more tome to edit more wgp newsletters!! How will I find out when you actually arrive in esperance...will you text me? Where in Esperance do you plan to leave the yacht? At the Yacht Club?

Hi Chris,

We can telephone you just before we leave Albany. We should be able to give you a good estimate of our arrival time. We could then telephone you when we reach Esperance - or before we reach Esperance if you have mobile telephone service.

Unless the Esperance Yacht Club has changed drastically since my last visit there about a decade ago, it will be very friendly and accommodating. I'll probably phone them ahead of time to let them know that we are coming.

Does Brenda have your telephone numbers? If not, send them to me directly to my email address at: robert.morales.oz@gmail.com

Regards,

Robert
