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.

On The Way
We left the slip at Neah Bay at 9.30 AM. The sea is calmer than we had hoped but the winds are weak and variable and not much help so far. At 12.30 PM we were well clear of Cape Flattery and motoring SW at 4.2 kt. We will motor until we get wind or get half way to San Francisco, whichever comes first. All is well though Brenda is feeling queasy in this swell.
Well done! Never fear... the breeze will be here...
ReplyDeleteYour AIS was reporting well and I watched you outbound behind the tug Polar King.
Sometime between 10:45 and 12:45 the Pachuca's AIS trace disappeared. Did it have anything to do with your SailMail transmission or have you decided to revert to stealth mode? :)
Carry on
San Francisco..exciting...take care.
