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.

Ego Have Caput Capitis



I have the head.

I met Colin at the boat ramp at 8.30 AM and he handed over the head.

They did what to me looked to be a beautiful job. They first drilled and tapped the large bolt for an 8mm thread. Then then drilled out an tapped the bolt hole in the block to take the larger bolt. They then screwed in the new bolt with some Loctite to hold it fast and cut off the top of the bolt level with the surface of the head. The photo shows the result.

The cost for the machining and Colin's time was 1000 pesos.

I then got a photo of Colin with his poodle cross. He's in damned fine condition for a man close to 70 years of age.
