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.

Stormy Weather
It has been a wet and blustery day. The wind peaked in the early afternoon, veered to the S and SW, and things have calmed down. I have visited the local shop in full wet weather gear for some lunch and Internet time.
It will be largely an indoor "igloo" day for me. I decided to do some brain work and have been studying an excellent booklet on sails and rigging that I got from Pt Townsend Rigging. Tomorrow I'll start a serious study of "Spanish for Cruisers".
Attached are photos of Rob during his recent visit and the starter switch that I replaced.
Today was an igloo day here in the Esperance area as it was 41 degrees by 9.30am and got worse as the day lengthened.
