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.

Eden-Opua Photos




Three photos:

- The Tasman Sea while hove to during one of the gales

- Track of our first hove-to. During the first night we drifted to the NW. The slight bend of that track would suggest a change of wind direction. The sharp turn at the top of the track is where we gybed the boat and hove to on the starboard tack. This had advantages which I described in my detailed report and gave us a favourable drift. The heavy section of the track above the cursor is where we started sailing again.

- Our track from Eden to 3/4 of the way to NZ
