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.

Malecon Birds

Turkey Vultures
Riding the bike along the Malecon is very enjoyable. Despite the thorough raking of the beaches by a team of Beach Cleaners, waterbirds can often be seen. One of the photo shows a Whimbrel (curved beak) and two Marbled Godwits. The other shows a flock of Turkey Vultures which I hadn't expected to see on the shore. The tide is about halfway in.

Fancy having pots of - is it bouganvillia? - all the way down the jetty
Enjoy the cruise - should be unadulterated pleasure, no storms or problems.
