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.

Arrival Information

Robert will let us know via the blog when he is going to arrive. It should be within a few days. This message is for anyone who plans to go to Fremantle to welcome Pachuca home after sailing round the world, a voyage begun on 3 May 2008. Below is a map that goes with this text.

They will enter Success Harbour (orange line). They will then go to the Customs jetty for customs and quarantine formalities. This may not take very long although we can't be sure. After that Robert plans to walk to the Fremantle Sailing Club clubhouse (5) where he can meet anyone who is there. Parking for the FSC clubhouse is at (4) and it is not restricted to club members.

The two vantage points for seeing Pachuca come into the harbour are Capo d'Orlando Drive (1), and the Breakwater (2). There is a car park at (1). To see the channel it is necessary to do a little clambering on rocks. To get to (2) is a walk of about 800 metres. There is a car park at (3), and also nearby, inside the FSC gate.

Initially it was hoped that Pachuca could move from the Customs jetty to the Collector jetty (6). Because of the Bali Race, due to start on 4 May, there will be 20 visiting yachts in the harbour and the Collector jetty will be crowded. It is most likely that Pachuca will stay at the Customs jetty for at least 24 hours. Robert is hoping that later in Arrival Day he can show Pachuca to anyone interested.

Robert does not have a phone (until he gets ashore). The contact number for Stephen is 040 387 3922

and for Brenda is 046 758 9741. For instance you may wish to know if they have arrived. Or if he has finished with customs and quarantine. Stephen will try to keep the blog updated with events as they unfold as there can be no guarantee of a timeline.
