It’s Croc Season!
The further north one goes toward the top of this great land, the fewer opportunities there are to connect to the outside world. So with that in mind I apologise for the delay in posting September’s Aboard Sengo newsletter but we have been out of internet and phone range for around three weeks, and we are very soon to leave it again. We spent half of September in Cairns, catching up with visitors, but resumed heading north around the middle of the month. We finished the month in Lizard Island; the pinnacle for a lot of cruisers each season. Enjoy aboard-sengo-september-2016 (The file is a little bigger than I had hoped. You are going to have to put up with 6.8M).
Purring Along 
A great read, good to follow your flow
Thanks Justin, Thank you for your kind comments.
Sounds like you are having a great time.
Don’t swim on the water.
Love
Cheryl
Thanks Cheryl, yes, we have been warned that swimming/snorkeling any further north of Lizard Island is asking for trouble. I think the comments were related to crocodiles, however from here on the jellyfish can be just as deadly.
Not sure what is worse. Jelly fish give you a nasty sting and crocs welllllllll.
Have a great time.
Love. Cheryl
I admit a croc bite is guaranteed to be more likely to be fatal, but some of those jellyfish can cause ‘cardiac arrest’. The croc I think would be the quicker way to go. We will be steering clear of as many risky situations as we can.. Cheers Trish
Pity you couldn’t visit the crocs on Green Island. I would love to know if Oscar is still alive. (he was brought down from PNG many years ago, and was about 18ft long when we were there back in the late 80’s.) I take it that the Lumix was retrieved? Stay safe from crocs.
Hi Sue. Yes thankfully, the Lumix was retrieved. I am having a bit of a habit of things falling out of my pocket lately – a few days ago it was the keys. Thankfully I had a spare set hidden outside and the boat where they fell out in was coming over for sundowners the next day. There was a big board out the front of the croc facility on Green Island, ‘Meet the Family’, with 8 snapshots on it of the residents. I am sorry to say Oscar was not listed amonst them. Cheers Trish
Good read Trish. What’s the plan from here on?
Thanks, Chris. Glad you enjoyed it. At this point our plans are to keep travelling counter-clockwise. Sengo might just get a rest over Christmas.
Just been catching up on your sailings, what an adventure you are both having. So much to see and do along our coastline. I know I certainly enjoyed my trips on fishing trawlers years ago. My happy times, lots of wonderful memories.
Cheers Andrew and Trish xx
Thanks Val, It is lovely to hear from you and thank you for your kind wishes. I am glad you are enjoying my ramblings. Cheers Trish
That is one scary croc!
Hi Lisa. He (she) certainly put me on edge. However I think I was more nervous when it disappeared under the water!
