HI,
Cachorro is a young dog.
Regarding the trip, a good reading is the articles from Geoff Payne in his
articles about the trip in Alan Payne designed Skookum. The articles are in
Cruising World magazine May, July and December 1994.
Other alternative can be in the forum of the Seven Seas Cruising
Association.
Cheers
Arthur
