Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi all! I just wanted to introduce myself and my 38ft sailibg catamaran.
I launched her in the first week of Aug 23 after a refit in Far North Queensland. I have been sailing the Queensland coast for the last year and will continue until April, May 2025, when I plan to be going across the top end. North Queensland to Gove, Darwin and then onto Indonesia. I have a spare V-berth or two for the right people. Open time schedule for adventures of fishing,  kite boarding, diving, surfing or what have you. No experience required, although would be advantageous. This is a great opportunity to learn how to sail and see some rare and remote locations. Bring a good attitude for fun and adventure.
Update..
Currently sailing the lower Whitsunday islands and slowly making my way through the islands and then eventually across to Indonesia. It's an adventure and not about the destination. We will arrive at exactly the right time😆
Pleased to hear your interest for part or all of the adventure...
