Perfect weather in Cairns for 8 months straight with only a day or two of rain.
A short but big thunderstorm came over this afternoon and set the scene for the wet season just as 3000 tourists arrived on this big ship, Welcome to Cairns, Its only liquid sunshine!
The sailing has been awasome here for so long that i might even stay this year instead of sailing south as usual

I saw a post somewhere recently that pointed out that there are no Australian cruising forums , Only overseas ones or American dominated ones. With the cruising season about to start here in Oz does anyone know of a local discussion/contact forum for topics such as sailing the east coast or weathering out a cyclone season in Darwin etc.....
I usualy post stuff here being a sailing cruiser and this being a sailing forum but there are a lot of racing/weekend sailors here that wouldnt care for such posts?
