I'm off on Sunday to Darwin in the Northern Territory to join a Beneteau
41 and come back down the West Australian coast to my home of Bunbury.

This is the biggest trip I've ever done - should be about 4 weeks in all.
I've only done races, overnighters and two three-dayers before and all of
these were snug up in a marina at night.


I've got pretty much everything organised - rods, reels, lures, earplugs
etc. Will be taking my normal prescription glasses for night time (I use
photochromatic in the day) and got my list of everything I think I'll need
all jammed into one bag.

I think I get something like 2800 miles signed off in my log book by the
time I return. Not sure of that yet.

Would appreciate any appropriate tips on a voyage of this nature.

Take something for seasickness and also sunscreen and a good hat.

Got the pills. Have never been seasick in my life but I'm a firm believer
in phrasing that as "I have not yet been seasick"
Got the sunscreen.
Will get the hat.
