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.

A Working Holiday......

Hi All,


Bob and Arnold are well into the repair regime for Pachuca. It is unfortunate that so much gear has needed repairing, and so many leaks have needed plugging. At this stage it really is a working holiday for Arnold who is providing great assistance to Bob. The Adelaide yacht club has been very helpful to Bob and Arnold, for instance giving them a lift into town on occasion.

Brenda leaves Perth tomorrow for Canberra then New Zealand and will catch up with the crew at some stage soon. Bob's personal mobile got wet and was ruined. His old number no longer works. He has given permission for me to post it on this blog. The new mobile number for Bob is; 0434909566 This is not a satellite phone, its a standard GSM personal mobile phone which will work when he is in port in Australia.

On a personal note, I have found phone calls to be getting more and more expensive. Hopefully I can now ring the team's satellite phone at a cheaper rate using VOIP which I have set up. VOIP uses the internet to make ordinary phone calls for a cheaper price.

Thanks Stephen
