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.

Departing Neah Bay. The top photo is of the entrance to the bay. The bottom photo shows the steep following sea in the strait. The first chart plotter screen shows the tide situation at the time. The vertical red line shows that we were at the very bottom of the tide cycle. The second screen shows information on the tidal currents which I learned about too late. Note the whopping 2.8 kt current set to the west.

(Don't forget that you can enlarge these photos with one click of the left mouse button.)
