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.

Two Photos




The first photo shows part of a large group of Dolphins that surrounded our boat in the Tasman Sea. We encountered Dolphins many times during our sail from Perth, and at times we were surrounded by dozens.





The second photo shows perhaps the only floating toilet in the world (bathroom, for you Yanks). It's located here in Opua on the quarantine jetty, which is isolated by water and is officially monitored by cameras (probably not). Officially no flushing is allowed in NZ coastal waters, so the toilet is necessay for boats that don't have holding tanks. I hope more are available during the busy season, when 400-500 boats arrive each month.

By the way, our team, Pachuca+, won quiz night at the yacht club last night for the second consecutive week. Many thanks to our local Kiwi team member, Jill, who was essential for our success. The rest of the club members will probably be happy to see us leave :).
