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.

Russell Radio
Two days ago Brenda, Arnold, and I visited the historic town of Russell, just across the water not far from Opua, which we crossed by car ferry.
During our walk along the very pleasant waterfront we encountered the (to me) legendary Russell Radio, which provides weather and other marine information throughout this part of the Pacific. It is staffed by volunteers.
While we stood in front of the window taking photographs Stuart, the manager of the station, came out and we had a great yarn. The attached photographs are of Stuart and Russell Radio, with Brenda and Arnold.
