      Hi Ross,

      Do you have any recent information / way points on the sandbars of King George and Berkeley Rivers for the 2023 season?

        Andrea,

        2019 we used an Iridium Go with Predict Wind unlimited data plan. Expensive, but best choice for weather, unlimited SMS, limited free calls, email & tracking. Best decision I made.

        Cel-Fi Go is great, but only if you have coverage which is not very often. Putting a phone in a bag and winching it to the top of the mast with a hot spot turned on works well for patchy coverage.

        Forget about internet browsing. Ask a friend to brows for you and to SMS/email the information to you.

        HF Pactor Sail mail coverage/propagation was very poor in the Kimberly.

        Have a great trip.

          From Perth – We are planning to leave either Carnarvon or Exmouth around the 1st of May 2019 making our way North, and probably departing Broome around the end of May, spending the majority of time in the Kimberley and planning to be in Darwin around September 2019.

          Will also update as plans become firmer….. Craig & Putu
