Preparation and Objective.

We are planning the first ever solar powered full navigation of the Coorong system .

Using demasted catamarans with solar panels we plan to cover the distance in around 14-18 days.

We are hoping this will help people to realise what a unique area this is and to get out there themselves and experience it.

We will update this blog daily from the 28th of December till the end of the trip (this is contingent on Internet reception).

The Coorong has an uncertain future and we reckon you all should see it as it is whilst you still can.

Cheers

  2. The sun is hot and our solar panels are ready
    Our equipment is old and new, but will keep us steady

    As long as we don’t fry,
    And other boats go by
    We will be very happy
    To sail the Coorong snappy

    Along the way we will get our cheers
    And hopefully will dig up some beers

    All our best wishes to Ryan, Vicky, Garry and Sarina
    Who will set forth from the Hindmarsh Island Marina.

    Cheers from Patrick, Steve & Miranda
