pre - trip planing for our epic adventure

It seems an age since i have taken out our tri, being the small boat clubs commodore for the last three years has a lot to do with it ,but in the not to distant future we ,that being my wife Tina and myself will be heading off for a whole month of cruising. We hope to head of to Port Lincoln and the Sir Joseph Banks group of islands around the 24th of March all going well (fingers crossed)/Sailing at this time of year should be light winds and if anything more motoring than sailing which is a bummer but that's the trade off  ,I have allowed enough fuel to motor to Port Lincoln if we have to, but a nice 15kt breeze would be excellent !.I have spent these last few weeks finishing up those niggly little jobs that we all say we will get to one day well for me one day will be next week !.I have purchased all the charts of Spencer Gulf and i never knew how many islands there actually were its amazing and the fishing ! twenty + islands to fish along , and we have a cray pot so hopefully we will catch some.

on a previous trip to Port Adelaide

Our first port of call will be Stansbury  and from there we will sail to Edithburgh and from there hopefully west to Spencer gulf but if the weather gods are against us we will go to Kangaroo Island instead but with a little over a week and a bit to go its still unknown as to what way we will go ..........but thats it for now my next post will be on departure day cheers Andy
