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.

The boat's engine must be getting a really good workout...............
I will ask about the fuel supply next time I talk on the phone. It would be interesting to find out how much fuel has been used already.

Here is their weather forecast for tomorrow;
Wednesday: N/NE winds 13/18 knots easing to 8/13 knots west of Windy Harbour. Winds throughout shifting NW'ly 10/15 knots in the afternoon, reaching 15/20 knots west of Walpole in the evening. Seas 1.0m to 1.5m. Swell 1.0m
