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.

Visit by Rod


Rod paid us a visit this morning from his Catalina for a chat and exchange of information. Arnold and I learned as much from him as he did from us.

He demonstrated his 3G dongle and indeed it provided internet service on Pachuca. The cost is about 700 pesos, which includes the first month of use, and no contract. Unfortunately Arnold and I plan to sail out either tomorrow or the day after, so purchasing one would not be cost effective as they say, given that we cannot be sure of access to telephone towers during our planned 3 week foray into the Gulf of Cortez.

The photo is of Rod in front of his laptop with one hand on his dongle.
