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.

Rat's Nest Wiring


My friend Victor showed me a photo of what he called rat's nest wiring in his 1930's wooden gaff rigged "Chiquita". Compared to my setup I would call Victor's more of a mouse nest.

This is a photo of the wiring of Pachuca's master panel. It represents 27 years of additions, removals, and changes. Many of the removals were unfinished in that this boat still has redundant wiring that I hunt down and remove at every opportunity.

I've got to be realistic and concede that it is unlikely that I will ever totally rewire the boat, although I'll probably attack it piecemeal.

Had no idea Pachuca was that old! It's doing well!
