As experienced sailer’s we are looking to sail from Wyndham to Derby in a trailer sailer. Not knowing too much about the region and how this is likely to go I was just looking for advice, suggestions, tips from anyone who has done this or similar. We are aware of the tides, crocs, strong winds, lack of fuel/water on route, but just want to know if it is possible or has anyone done it before?
We have met a few couples out there on very small craft. One young couple and their dog had sailed an about 24ft cat from Cove to Yampi Sound (where we met them) on their way to get work in Karratha. The cat had no cabin and its hulls were too small to live in. They were living and sleeping in a small tent they pitched on the wing deck. Whats more, he was almost blind without wearing glasses, and had lost his glasses overboard hundreds of miles back down the track. It didn’t seem to bother them at all.
