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.

Rain!




Forgive the prosaic photos of the rain but in La Paz for me it is a big deal. We're having the first serious rain since my arrival in Mexico and well, it could be Perth on warm spring day or even Seattle during a heat wave - except for the coconut trees.  I took the photos from the apartment.


On the boat decoration front I am poised to apply the white paint tomorrow morning.  I was hoping to do the job today but the masking tape work took about 4 hours.  The photos give an idea of what was involved but show only a fraction of the tape that I laid down.  I've learned the hard way that particularly with 2-part paint it pays to invest the time to set up a fast and clear run without trying to free hand edges and, worse, cleaning up smudges as I go.
