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.

Well On the Way........

Brenda has returned to Perth for a short stay.

Here is the latest sms from the crew, recieved Wednesday 21st May 2008;
NOON 21 MAY WST. 34S07 122E26. LEFT LUCKY BAY. HEADING SE WITH CLEAR SKY AND GOOD WIND AT 6+ KN.

I will plot Pachuca's location when I get the chance, it is hectic here at the moment. In the meantime, here are a few words from Brenda.


"I left Robert and Arnold near the beach at Lucky Bay at 7.15 am, 21 May. They were to resume the sail with the objective of passing the islands and rocks in daylight; I was driven back to Esperance to catch the bus. Sue of the Esperance sailing club came out that morning to get me and this generous offer made it possible for me to spend that last day experiencing the Cape le Grande coastline and more of the unforgiving Recherche Archipelago up very close. In Lucky Bay the 45 lb fisherman's anchor held firmly and we all slept very soundly despite the nearby rock wall and the surf on the beach. Robert had really wanted to make having his own yacht in Lucky Bay part of the trip so it was very good to be able to share the realisation of that dream."
