Details

An informal flotilla of likeminded people who care for their cruising grounds. No set schedule, no set timing.

We will have our landing barge running in support so if we can’t anchor on southern shores, we will run you around in barge.

We supply the bags and our barge will take the debris away.

Stay tuned throughout the week via our socials and VHF radio TBA.

A treasure hunt

What will we find

In 2020 we removed over 2 tonnes of debris

Having visited the islands on the way home from Airlie last year we were overwhelmed with the amount of debris

Many hands makes light work.

Clean for as long, or as little as you like

Sundowners and stories to be had.

Digby Island 8-12 Sept 2025

We will be running a second flotilla with a focus on the islands of Digby and surrounds. This island has a shallow anchorage on north side so perfect for catamarans. Located 40nm from Mackay and on the way to the Percy’s

Our mission is to collect all debris and place near the boat cabin washed up on the western end of beach. We will then collect with our barge ASAP after the week. During the week we will attend with chainsaws to cut up the boat cabin too.
