Hi,
The crew should have left Albany this morning, under good sailing conditions. Bob tried very hard to pass some great photos to me, but was unable to because of restrictions imposed at the Internet Cafe he used.
Unfortunately, as flash drives (or thumb drives) were not allowed he will try again in Esperance to send photos. I will phone the Esperance library to see if he has a chance to send photos using their public computers.
He did however pass on a sailing account (or log) which he typed from memory;
Here is an excerpt;
On that basis we decided to head for Cape Bouvard and either go to Bunbury or head straight for Cape Naturaliste depending on the wind. The wind held out and we decided to make directly for the Cape. Getting to Cape Naturaliste and then to Cape Leeuwin became a real challenge because of the weak winds.
You can read the full account from Bob, at this web site; http://tinyurl.com/65q5xu
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.
