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.

Photos of Trip

Here are a few still photos that I took during the passage from Brazil to Cape Town.

The flag is the hacked up Aussie flag that would serve as my courtesy flag for Tristan da Cunha.

There is a photo of Tristan da Cunha that was not as revealing as the actual sight, but unfortunately it is all that I can present.  You can see the dark base of the island at the bottom and perhaps get glimpses of the cloud-shrouded volcano that is the island.

There is a photo of the layout for repairing the Spray dodger.

There is one of the approach to Cape Town before I made the turn into the harbor.

Pachuca's first berth was at the police pontoon where we were trapped for the night.

Her second berth was at the end of a jetty, where you can see her yellow Q flag and a glimpse of the large SA courtesy flag behind it.

Then there is a photo of the magnificent Table Mountain with the white cloud spilling over like a waterfall.
