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.

Communications Installed

Ron spent about two hours on the boat installing the new HF radio, tuner, and modem. At the end of the session everything seemed to be working OK. Ron spoke with a ham operator on another island and we downloaded some weather files. Tomorrow I will spend a few hours bolting and screwing things into place.

On another topic, yesterday I mentioned the difficult time I had crossing the H1 freeway to get to the nuts & bolts shop. This morning there was a news item on the radio about a man in critical condition after having been knocked down by a car while walking down an off-ramp of the H2 freeway heading for the Kamehameha Hwy, the same highway where I had wound up yesterday.
