That’s great! We’re planning on Darwin – Saumlakki to clear in to Indonesia, then heading NE for West Papua, Maluku and Raja Ampat for the summer. We’ll use Sorong as a provisioning base.
After a few days on the Prince Regent River we’re now in the northern bay of Coronation Island. After the past months in creeks and inlets its nice to be in a big bay with a white sand beach for swimming.
Thanks very much Ross. We are using the FSC as our primary resource. We entered the river today and anchored in Purulba Creek. The White Island tides show today and tomorrow as the highest/lowest tides in this cycle. 4 days from now we’re only 1m less height, so I think we’ll be OK.
Thanks.
FSC show an all-tide anchorage 0.75 nm downstream of King’s Cascade. We should be able to get there (and back!) near the top of the mid-Spring/Neap tides with our boat, shouldn’t we? I assume that there isn’t a pool deep enough at LW at the base of King’s Cascade to stay there?
We’re a little ahead of you, but are also heading towards Darwin and planning to arrive there in October (prior to heading up to Indonesia). We’re currently in the Samson Inlet. You can see us on AIS and Marine Traffic.
We’re starting to see private boats heading SW, but so far mostly charter vessels.
This guy was planning to dine on a fresh Calamari meal!
