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.

Princess TaiPing Departs








Yesterday, Monday 16 February, the Princess TaiPing was towed out of the Ali Wai Harbor at about 5 PM. The scene was fairly hectic for several hours with may best wishes and farewells being exchanged. Traditional Chinese prayers were said, a Christian minister intoned a prayer, the TV media did their thing, and soon the Princess TaiPing was towed out through the heads. I returned to my boat and took a photo of her with sails up headed west, for Saipan.
