G'day folks
Like a lot of baby boomers, we're planning our retirement cruising
activities. I've had a fair amount of experience bay cruising in a H28
in past years, but that was a while ago before career and kids got in
the way.

We're now looking at cruising 'round the Oz coast and S/W Pacific for a
few years in something nice and comfortable 'round 45 feet or so. I'm
perfectly happy with my standard of seamanship and we'll be doing a lot
of shakedown stuff before we go offshore too much, but I've no formal
qualifications- nor any real desire to have any, unless there's a real
good reason for same...

I've no intention of taking crew, paying or otherwise, just wife and
self. Does anyone know of requirements for licences or formal
qualifications for Oz registered international cruising? The insurance
company is happy with my current experience and isn't interested in
anything else...

Thanks
JM
