brettb Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm thinking about sailing in the Whitsundays for a week in Feb - Apr, on a 16" calypso cat. I'll pack everything into the hull and camp. After some overnighters (camping on the beach) on Moreton (see thread), I think this will be possible. Most islands are accessible via semi-protected water, and the scale is similiar to Moreton. Has anyone done this kind of trip, and can often advice (time of year, feasibility / safety, crocs, etc). (There are some passing reference in other threads.) Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettb Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks Jon - great info. That's just what I wanted. I'll search for "Whitsunday" instead of "Whitsundays" next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 My only advice is to buy an admiralty chart (shows tidal flows), and tide chart (any bait shop), and plan your trips to go with the tide which can run at 6/8kts, you will find it easier than Morton bay, winter is best (no stingers or cyclones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
