We head towards Raft Point in the hope of anchoring close by and heading in to check out the rock art at the top of the escarpment. Unfortunately, it’s just too choppy and the anchorage is not tenable so we decide to give it a miss, yet again, and we ins...

We need to get fuel if we are to make it back to Darwin. There’s a VERY remote fuel barge down Dogleg Creek so we take Peanut around the headland to get a few jerries. Magnus tests out a very strange-looking ‘animal’ which he keeps spotting on the r...

We head ashore to find the pearl divers’ graves. We find an amazing art-like gallery of rock art formations. After checking out another amazing beach, we head to the nearby blue hole to check it out. We move on to the unusual anchorage at Crocodile C...

We explore our surrounds in Peanut and make our way to Gugeri Camp to do a bit of bush cooking on an open fire. Magnus cooks up a delicious Kangaroo and Guinness Stew. We then move anchorage and explore in Peanut and find an abundance of huge oysters on ...

We leave Island 67 and make our way to a beautiful anchorage where we take Peanut on a good scout around and find the most majestic mangroves. Magnus scouts out a waterfall and we go about collecting water in our 200 litre bladder. We pass a barramundi f...

We manage to pass Cape Leveque without incident. It’s a notorious part of the coastline with often dangerous seas. We end up at Cascade Bay near Lochlan Island. We take Peanut out on her longest trip so far to explore our surrounds and find many amazing...

We have been killing time checking out the nearby islands while waiting for the new anchor chain to arrive. We take a look at Malus Island and the fishing shack Magnus used to visit twenty years ago. We make our way back to Dampier, collect the chain, pr...

Magnus begins the task of fixing the holes in the bowsprit with epoxy. We go ashore in search of the many petroglyphs which are in this area. Magnus splices a new anchor rode to replace the 500 feet of chain which is now at the bottom of the ocean, with ...

We head to shore to sort out the broken shaft and catch up on provisioning. Peanut gets a bit of TLC with a new ‘bumper’ and good cleanup. Friends arrive onboard and we leave Broome and head south on our way to Dampier. Whales are everywhere. We ca...

After finally managing to make it through Whirlpool Pass we tuck into a bay at Dunvert island, just on the other side and have a well earned rest. The next day Magnus looks at all of our options and we decide that the best thing to do is to head out to se...

We leave Crocodile Creek for the final time and make our way to Cockatoo Island and a drink on the wood at the Iron Ore Bar. We make our way to Coppermine Creek to collect oysters and check out a beautiful blue hole just down the creek. It’s a magical...

We leave Deception Bay and make our way to Langii Gorge. It’s a difficult place to visit because you can’t get all of the tides in your favour, so we head in at high tide to see the rock formations. An advantage to going in at this time is that we are ...
