Hi, we are a family of 4 on a 38 ft cat. We have 5 weeks to sail from Keppel Bay Marina to Townsville, leaving mid September. Any suggestions re where to stop/itinerary would be appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone have a recommendation for a skipper and yacht to hire out of Mackay, Queensland, Australia? I'm thinking of a holiday there for a week or two in October and thought hiring a yacht and a local skipper for 4 or 5 days would be a good introduction to cruising yachting in the area. My wife and I would be the only passengers on board. We have 4 years coastal sailing experience on our 8 meter 6 tonne gaff rigged wooden cruiser.
