    Great Barrier Reef cruise

    Sawmill bay beach was changed by cyclone Debbie and now it’s much easier to to leave a rib at Dugon beach which is only a few hundred metres around the corner. The walk from dugon back to sawmill is very well maintained, not too difficult and takes about 20 minutes. Dugon has very good national...

    Great Barrier Reef cruise

    Again thanks for the notes. Suggest you include Cid Harbour in your list of anchorages to choose from for the forecast weather. The southern corner of sawmill bay is very good and no rolling in the anticipated winds. I have celfi go on working here, so can access all BOM, winfinder etc. We are...

    Great Barrier Reef cruise

    Another good post, thanks. I also prefer the Duke group for all the reasons you annunciated. A, B, and C arms have been completely rebuilt but to the same plan as original, so effectively no changes. The fuel dock is modern 24/7 self serve with petrol and diesel inc fast flow. All the rest of...

    Great Barrier Reef cruise

    Thanks for the interesting posts. I’m now back in Hamilton Island. Looks like rain heading this way so will probably not venture out again for a few days. Quite a few boats have arrived here from down south in the last week or so. I know you don’t like to commit too far ahead but if you have a...

    I have been following your notes with interest. Currently anchored in Cid harbour with time so thought I’d check out your progress. Pretty cool and overcast here. Can see nothing since the 19th. Look forward to your next update. Hamo

    cyclone Queensland

    Too soon to cancel. The picture re availability of marina berths, fuel depots and the parks will become much clearer in the next few weeks. Hamilton isl is allowing boat owners whose boat are moored there to come to the island from tomorrow. The ship lift is operational and whilst no boats are...

    Cell & Wifi Boosters Revisited

    It seems that nextivity has partnered with Get wireless to release in the US and Canada a celfi go model similar to the marine pack available in Australia. Apparently released in February at IoT Evolution Expo in Ft Lauderdale. Should be good for TF member there. I will be off the Qld coast...

    Cell & Wifi Boosters Revisited

    Despite the warnings attached to earlier posts I went ahead and had the celfi go marine pack installed. Then we cruised around the Whitsunday islands in nth Queensland. The winds were ne to se so we stayed in anchorages suitable. These are anchorages we are familiar with and have poor to next to...

    Cell & Wifi Boosters Revisited

    In my earlier post I used the term "wired". I should have written "cabled". I also recommend those members considering LTE have a read of the cel-fi GO smart signal repeater (stationary) material . My understanding is the signal received at the external antenna gets to the internal antenna via...

    Cell & Wifi Boosters Revisited

    I have also similar user reports to Isequent and would recommend anyone interested have a close look at the cel fi go material. I have ordered and will have installed next week. The antennas are wired. Hamo
