Cyclone Season - Dec 2007 to April 2008

Cyclone Season Scarborough Marina Queensland


Dec 2007 / April 2008

We spend a very enjoyable 5 months at Scarborough Marina on Moreton Bay North of Brisbane to avoid the cyclone season.

Use this time improving Musketelles systems but also taking in the sights of southern Queensland around greater Brisbane and the Gold Coast.  For Christmas and New Year we flew down to Sydney where we house sat for old friends the Majors in Allandale while they were in Fiji.  Alf came over from Wellington and joined us for Xmas and watching the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race before going down to Melbourne to see in the New Year with Phil and Irene.

Time simply flys when your having fun and we enjoyed our stay even if we were tied up at a berth for the entire time.  A number of liveaboard cruisers were in the same situation so there was good company and socialising.

The plan is to leave Scarborough in April to cruise north and on to Darwin for the start of the Sail Indonesia Rally from Darwin in July.
