Dennis' Cruising Tips

Dennis Ford is a long term member of The Darwin Sailing Club. His cruising tips cover the western Northern Territory and the Kimberley coast in Western Australia. If intending to visit these areas, you should also refer to navigational information such as charts, Notices to Mariners and coastal cruising guides. The author and other members of The Darwin Sailing Club involved in publishing these articles disclaim any liability for any consequences of errors or omissions. The aerial photos and chartlets are believed to be accurate at the time of research and writing between 2002 and 2008; but sandbars do move, and coastlines do change as a result of normal erosion processes. It is each skipper’s responsibility to navigate in a safe manner and to take actions appropriate to the local conditions including tidal range, currents and the existing and forecast weather conditions.
