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.

Pachuca's Location Updated

Here is the boat location-sms I recieved from Arnold around 3.00pm Perth (Western Australian) Time; NOON 5MAY WST,325S36 115E19,LIGHT WIND,CLEAR SKY,MOTORING AROUND CAPE NATURALISTE.

I have plotted the location at this website, as a green marker;

The plotted location is not quite the same as given above (in the sms), but everyone has said "just past" Cape Naturaliste. Also, the mobile phone conversation with the sailing trio I had revealed that:

  • Arnold now has Bob's cold (lucky him) but is getting better.
  • A bilge pump got blocked with a piece of plastic but was thankfully fixed.
  • Currently, the boat's motor is being used a lot, as there is little wind.
  • Brenda has seen many albatrosses, and a pod of 20 dolphins (unusual).
Albany will be a very likely stop for a refuel.

Seems like Pachuca is making steady progress. Lucky you are their anchorman Stephen!
