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.

Visitors From Space
These are photos of my avian visitors during the passage. There are the two freeloading boobies that spent the night on the pulpit and the storm petrel who spent almost 24 hours on Pachuca for some R&R. The petrel was weak and trembling when I picked him up from the cockpit sole. The next day he was alert and steady with body language that said "I'm Outta Here, Pal."
