# Sail Oahu to Austraia Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
devindra 10:16 UTC 02 Jan 2009 | Has anyone ever done this? What time of year is a good time to go? How long did it take? What was your route? Anyone want to do it? I sail and want to buy a boat here and sell it in Sydney. |

oldpro 07:56 UTC 03 Jan 2009 | "What time of year is a good time to go? How long did it take? What was your route?" It strikes me that these are not the sorts of questions an experienced and serious sailor would be posting on a site like LP. Sounds like you have a lot to learn, and you'd be better off making inquiries at local sailing clubs, or chatting with people at marinas. | 2
devindra 02:33 UTC 17 Jun 2011 | Thanks OldPro...It strikes me that taht wasn't a helpful or positive post. Just returned to this after sailing and traveling for the last year. I sail a lot out here and ask a lot of questions, just thought I'd ask here as well. If you are actually an old pro, I'd appreciate something more than whatever your previous post was meant to be. Take Care. | 3
h2ooh 04:24 UTC 17 Jun 2011 | Sorry devindra but oldpro is right... take it from an old sailor, this ain't the place. Before I swallowed the hook 30 years ago a good source was the Dolphin Book Club. Get a copy of "Ocean Passages of the World" and spend some time with the charts. Also... talk to someone who has done it. | 4
