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.

New Boat



I took these photos yesterday, the day that the new boat was launched. It was built here in Port Townsend and it is the biggest thing that they've ever built.

I was told that it is a private boat, possibly to be used for charter work out of the Marshall Islands. It is certainly set up for fishing. Zoom up and count the number of rod holders.

My sinister mind envisioned it chartered by a group of MBA's in order to discuss what to do with their company's federal bailout money while they engage in big-game fishing. I can understand that: sort of a working meditation to clear up their minds to help them continue doing their brilliant work.
