Within 3 weeks I will be fullfiling a 35 year old dream,(before I get too old) my partner and I are taking off on our South Coast 36 yacht. I'm taking 4 surfboards, and hoping to find as much surf as possible. We are leaving Batemans Bay a quick sail to Wollongong to spend xmas with the families, then off to Tasmania until late March early April, then north to who knows where??
Interested to see if there are any other surfers who are out doing the same thing or have done it. Love to hear from you or about it. We have just started a blog where you can follow our adventure.

Cheers,

Glenn

Hi Glenn and Tony
Ive been doing the same for years and im currently in Cairns , although there is no surf here ive got lots of Kitesurfing gear which really enhances your adventure as there is always wind up here.
One of the big issues you'll find is trying to find a mooring / anchorage area thats close to a break, I'll send you some good spots on your blog but theyre all north of Woollongong and as youre going to Tazzie you wont use em till you sail north (assuming you will?)
Ive also got 2 hanggliders on board and theyre the best toys ive got! Theres nothing like pulling up to an island for a couple of days, Kitesurf the windward side, Fly the hill with the hangglider then drink a cold beer then do it all again the next day. Lizard island was a highlight, and there is a surf break on the reef nearby if you've got a dinghy thats up to it.
Youre probably on your voyage now as i type so happy sailing!!

Sounds great Tony , Similar plan but im spooked by the wet season so im heading down south for 3 months of surf then back to the cyclone/wet season interupted voyage.
Does your mate Greg know of the local sites?

Most cruisers join a rally from Darwin and they get an easy road thru the red tape, its much easier than doin it on your own. There is a rally from Darwin to Ambon and one from Darwin to Kupang.

Tony i could not give you as much info as Unle Google so try him he usualy works
