![]() Peter printed out pages of information about various anchorages and tips on how to navigate around the Kimberleys. ![]() Ross tries to update the information each year and there is plenty of discussion on the website from fellow boaters. For a small fee we could access their maps, experiences at various anchorages, opinions about the best places to visit, even down to identifying the local crocs in each area. Before we left Perth, we joined a group called the Kimberley Coast Cruising Yacht Club. Now, some of you may be asking how did we know where to go, what to see and where was best to anchor? The official charts do show some anchorages, but most of our trip was advised by local knowledge from two sources. It was quite beautiful mangroves, little bays of white sand between massive cliffs of limestone blocks (like giant leggo), wispy white clouds and blue sparkling water and, as we found for most of our time in the Kimberleys, we were the only ones there. We made our way to the east side of Koolan Island into a secluded little place called Silver Gull Creek. Because he knows I’m watching in case anything goes wrong, he can get a solid nights sleep and I catch up with naps during the day (and Peter finds it difficult to sleep during the day). You may think this is heartless of him, as he knows I won’t be sleeping, but it actually works really well. I sat up watching the depth sounder and the plotter making a lovely little arc around the anchor point. I would make mention now that Peter slept all night at Quongdong Point (I swear the man could sleep through an earthquake). What this anchorage did do though, was continue to increase our faith in our big Rocna anchor, which seems to set solid first time, every time. We anchored in around 4m of water and then endured a very rocky night, so much so that I now compare all anchorages to ‘the Quondong Point experience’ (there were no anchorages that were anywhere near as bad all the way to Darwin!). We ended up making it as far as a place called Quongdong Point, about 30 nautical miles north of Broome. We didn’t want to think about having to get into the crocodile-ed water to cut off ropes and netting wrapped around the prop, so we decided to go as far up the coast as we could in daylight and then pull in to the nearest anchorage for the night. We had not encountered any actual farms yet, but had been told that although they were marked with floats, they could be quite hard to see and it would be very bad to accidentally bump into one. The relevant section to edit is documented here.The waters along the Broome coastline contain many fish and pearl farms. Under Available Stand-alone Snap-ins, click Group Policy, and then click Add.On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.In the Open box, type mmc, and then click OK.Apparently it is an add-in for Windows Server 2003, but an off-by-default part of the install for Windows Server 2008.Īpparently you can also use the local Group Policy Editor like so: but this requires that the Group Policy Management Console be installed. So, you have to edit the Terminal Services Group Policy. On the Local Resources tab, clear the Printers check box. Use Remote Desktop Connection to disable printer redirection on an individual computer. To disable it, use Terminal Services Group Policies. The printer redirection feature is enabled by default in Windows XP Professional when you enable Remote Desktop. RDP printer sharing is on by default in remote desktop, unfortunately:
