Hi all,
We have been avid readers of this sight for some time and many of you have passed on incredibly helpful advice to us since we first began our journey to our dream. Cruising!!!!!!!!!!
Finally it has all fallen into place and we are sooooooooooooo excited.. In a few months we will have no jobs but no debt, a little money but loads of excitement, one beautiful boat with two humans and one dog that just can't wait to get going. You've probably guessed we are a little excited at the moment but we just wanted to share and ask if anyone had some favourite spots to visit in Northern Aust.
The plan (a basis for change at best
![](http://www.cruiserlog.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif)
) is to head out from Port Douglas Far Nth Qld, and make our leisurely way around the top end with a final destination of the Kimberleys WA. No real time frame we just want to see as much as we can and I (Mel) want to sponge up as much as humanly possible having limited sailing skills. The other member of our crew, Toby, a 9yr old Staffy X Bully will also be finding his sealegs after a life of backyards and bush. Should make for an interesting voyage
If anyone has some favourite anchorages or handy hints we are all ears and value your input
Thanks for listening I just had to share
Mel, Damien and Toby
SV Fortuna
