Sailing Log

Sailing Log. A compilation of weekly posts during my time self sailing from Mackay to the Daintree River on the Australian Great Barrier Reef Coast.
To sum up the sailing log, we will be visiting destinations including: 

  • The Whitsunday Islands
  • Mackay Coast
  • Airlee Beach 
  • Townsville 
  • The Great Barrier Reef
  • Cairns
  • Port Douglas
  • The Daintree River and Rainforest

The sailing log will include details on anchorages, weather patterns and general routes for other people looking to self sail the Aussie Coast. Since this travel blog has a strong focus on photography, the Log will also feature: 

  • Aerial Photography 
  • Underwater Photography
  • Sailing Photography. 

For those interested in the vessel used during the sail, you can read Week 1 or another post I’ve written about previous sailing experiences on Malaika.
