Dreamtime Sail

Rob and Karen Oberg spent a year and 7,200 nautical miles crewing on other people's boats in SE Asia and Europe before cruising the Med for 2 seasons with crewmate, Marc Beerts, on a Jeanneau 43 DS, Alcheringa (Alcheringa is an Australian Aboriginal word meaning 'The Dreamtime'). On returning to Australia they acquired a Whitby 42 ketch, renamed her 'Our Dreamtime' and after cruising Australia's Great Barrier Reef extensively are now sailing in SE Asia. Total sea miles to date = 24,273 NM.

We Sail to a Stunning Mainland National Park only reached by Sea

In our latest video, https://youtu.be/i_yyWulVFlI
After 10 glorious days at gorgeous Cape Gloucester and Shag Islet, we sail north to Cape Upstart. Although on the mainland, this magnificent National Park area has no road access and can only be reached by sea. Featuring numerous small bays with magnificent sand beaches, the anchorage is well sheltered from prevailing winds. There are a few holiday shacks and homes at the Cape and we even picked out where we want ours to be. We happily wiled away a few days strolling the sand and eating huge fresh oysters off the stunning granite boulders lining the shore. Take a look at this rarely seen piece of Australia.

In the Our Galley, Karen shows how to bake a scrumptious apple and cinnamon cake. Guaranteed to get the taste buds going.
