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.

Brenda in La Paz

Isla Coronados and Isla Carmen near Loreto
Caleta Partida, an island split by a volcano crater
Brenda arrived in La Paz yesterday,30  minutes ahead of schedule. Meeting Brenda was made very easy by Larry's offer to take me to the airport his SUV.  Brenda was understandably tired after her 32 hour journey but soon Larry had us back at the marina where we said our goodbyes.  I told Larry that I'm pretty sure that we will meet again.  I had very much enjoyed my time with him.

Like a sailor arriving from a long cruise Brenda was interested in a shower, and after that we had dinner at the cafe here in the marina.  Soon after that she was fast asleep.

Enclosed are some photos that Brenda took from the airplane as it was approaching La Paz.

More on the medical front ...   Bob told me today that his coverage includes drugs.  He also said that the cost of medical coverage drops with age.  The government figures that as people get older they have less disposable income.  How refreshing that this society looks at it from the citizen's point of view.
