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.

Hummingbird Happening
Yesterday, on the way back from a tasty lunch of tacos at Super Burro, we came across a low shrub straggling halfway across the path. It was covered with bright red tubular flowers.I noticed a flash of light - a dragonfly? Then I realized that it was a hummingbird. We had the best views yet as it darted from flower to flower and hovered, shining bronze-green in the sunlight, often within arm's reach.We had both left our cameras in Pachuca, not expecting anything exciting on this short walk. As for size, think matchbox, though the long beak would protrude a little. -Brenda
