Days: 1 day to King Geo. Falls
Goal: Lounge at the falls and then go to Darwin
To go: 140 miles
Remarks:
Move a couple miles to Porosus Creek and anchor.
Take 'Sidekick' up Porosus Cr. deep canyon, then
spread out into a croc swamp of mangroves with
multiple channels. Almost got lost, headed up 2
separate long narrow channels to an incoming
creek with high cliffs everywhere. Spectacular
winding creeks and deep canyons.
Decided to leave early for King Geo River so we
will be at narrow spots at daylight.
Perfect day for travel and lounging on the back deck with a cool one.
