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.

Slow wind.......

Hi All,

There has yet to be a great sailing wind for the crew. In the last 24 hours they have sailed 129NM.


I don't think they have sailed 1/3 of the way to their next stop, Ravavae (in the Austral group of French Polynesia). The expensive onboard water maker isn't up and running yet, though it has produced a few drops. It gets towed, and needs a good boat speed to work I understand.

Bob and Arnold have not had bath/wash for many days to preserve water. Still, their spirits are very high and all are looking forward to a better wind.

Cheers Stephen
