    Barry - Outstanding view on the marina situation for insurance. You are one of a very few UA-cam channels that will point out the negative bureaucracy of sailing around the world. Most other sailing UA-cam channels are pitiful about pointing out any negative experiences. Especially when it comes to customs and immigration bureaucracy. They are doing a disservice to sailing. Good luck on your big crossing of the Indian ocean and we will hear from you when you get to the other side.

    The ANCHORING AREA you're in near the Marina is called the SKATING POND as boats all face in different directions.
    Here's the LAT/LON of the BEST anchoring spot well up Chinaman Creek.
    16°56'44.78"S, 145°47'18.36"E
    KNOW that you've most likely LEFT CAIRNS (pronounced CANS) by now...but this may help others.
    Great CHANDLERY just around the corner to the PORT side facing seaward.
    16°56'58.53"S, 145°46'19.99"E location where you can tie up your DINGHY.
    Chandlery is short walking distance from here.

    You need full comprehensive insurance throughout Australia. Every Marina I have been in, in Australia wants Full Comprehensive. Does third party, cover salvage? i stayed on a pile mooring in this area and it was fantastic. Also all the staff at Marlin Marina were fantastic. Helping us out when a yacht snapped its mooring lines and came to rest on us. They had staff out in a Jiffy. Maybe a bit more research before you enter a Port and where the best places are to anchor. (There is a lot out there about Cairns) I'd say you just had a bad few days and a bit of perspective next time instead of slagging off something, when it didn't suit, may not be the best way to go. Fair travels.

    Sorry you had to miss out on all the fun Cairns has to offer, like a boat trip up the Daintree river, taking the Kuranda sky train into the rain forest to visit the butterfly sanctuary, zoo, and spectacular Barron falls, as well as make a trip out to the great barrier reef. Cairns would do well to annex that marina, change management, and make it more inviting. Wishing you a great voyage.

      Yes I agree about all those missed adventures. I was lucky to get to Cairns a few years ago and follow those tourist spots you mentioned, plus a few extra by car that my son showed me. We did see the Marina as our transport to Green Island left from there. However at that time I was a mere landlubber tourist and had no idea how badly blue water sailors are treated there.
      As an Aussie I'm deeply ashamed that Cairns doesn't welcome blue water sailors.

    Hi Barry, good to see you are still in it! Still kicking... Facing the trials/tribulations of the Sea. Aahahahah! Yea buddy! So, if you go at six knots down wind, with the swells in your favor, how many knots old shaddy go, on a broad reach, with same wind speed? Do tell! Keep on keeping on... Enjoy your video posts... All Blessings! Best Wishes! M
