Looking for one or (two maximum) persons, to sail / motorsail north from Port Stephens. Have done lake maq to here in 2 days and my first mate has become sick.
Looking for someone with a bit of experience to help me get the boat to the Whitsunday's, and then further to Cairns.

Say Nick,
Is Cisco OK?
If you are still there next Friday you could sail in company with BlueMoon and I as we are moving a Top Hat north.

He is ok , just his body struggling a bit , and he is stressed about his wife, she is a bit sick. Yea sure if you are here by then, I am planning to leave on Monday though , today and tomorrow is lousy weather but monday and tuesday look good, I am only day hopping at the moment till I get more confidence and experience.

OK Nick,
Hope Cisco's wife is OK also.
Don't forget, if you go into Forster/Tuncurry, do so only on a flooding tide.
Crowdy Harbour, watch out for the rock just wide of the harbour entrance.
with the calm seas at the moment it might not be breaking, it's on the charts and easy to miss.
Camden Haven, the bar is very flat at the moment so you should have little trouble.
But approach the river mouth just south of a west / east line drawn from the river entrance.
Reason is that the leads take you straight over that part of the bar that breaks!
If you sail Port Stephens direct to Camden Haven will take about 12-13 hours.
I've just booked my bus ticket to Karauh where I'll be picked up mid-day Thursday [5th]
we will sail that night for an over nighter to Camden Haven.

I should be available after 12 of June. Whitsunday to Lizard sailed a couple of times.
Probably can join in Gladstone, Rosslyn Bay, maybe somewhere else.
If any good.
