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.

Only the Jib.........
At 4.30am recieved this sms from the crew; 34S07 121E28. 27 NM FROM ESPERANCE. CLEAR SKY, HIGHLY VARIABLE WIND. SAILED ALL NIGHT WITH ONLY JIB, WITH NNW WIND.
They should be in Esperance tonight I am guessing. If they are not too exhausted to sail.
Hi Stephen Are they going around the world in record time!! Didn't think they'd planned to be in Esperance until the weekend so I could show them around. Not much daylight once school finishes!! Still they are doing well. Hopefully snoozing for a few days!!
