Big Hello to all,

That time of the years is fast approaching where the cold weather pushes from our mooring field and the north beckons us. Fiona and I have planned be taken off on our 40ft Cat Kinetic Energy from Rockingham over to the East coast we are leaving a month later than last year due to being caught by a cyclone last time. We hope to sailing in company with another couple from Fortuna. Two Grainger Chincogans sailing together is an awesome sight to behold.

Rough Plan would be

Leaving Rockingham 1st May – Abrolhos Islands  then into shark bay

arriving Carnarvon Mid May. Sail off a couple days later hopefully with two other cats from Carnarvon. Day sail up the NW coast and jumping off to the Montebello islands. for a few days of swimming fishing and snorkeling. From there over to the Dampier to catch up with friends arriving somewhere around the end of May.

Depart couple of days later for Blaze bay on the southern end of Eighty mile beach a days or so there chasing fish and mud crabs. Shoot up the coast to Broome arriving there 7th June or so. Top up on everything catch up with friends then off north day sailing up to the cape. Jump off from the cape on the tide for our run across king sound arriving a copper mine creek for a bit of fishing and some of the best oyster you have ever eaten. From a quick couple hours up to Silver gull and beers at the Squatters Arms and a fresh water swim.

Depart from Silver gull and day sail stopping at some of our favorite places. Stop as we want or stay as long as we wish meeting old and making new friends along the way.

Round Cape Londonderry at the end of June and then up the West coast of Blown-apart gulf. Stop off at a few of favorite places (lost City) etc. a snappy trip up to Wyndam to pick up a couple friends. Back to Barkley for the Beach Party.

Depart Barkley and either head back up the coast or shoot across to the east coast Arrive Darwin around the middle of July. Damn will miss Territory Day.

From this point on it is a mixture of day hops and waiting until we get something half deceit to round York and make our way down the east coast (don’t know a lot about that part of the world)

We do have a dog onboard, this is his third trip through the area and we have had no problems, we are careful where we anchor and never do things the same way nor do we stay more than a couple of days. Pop over for a chat and drink and we hope to see you out and about.

Note: All Plans and dates have the tendency to change as Weather dictates; Weather we can be bothered to leave a great place. Weather it’s a crappy out sailing.
