Crew Available: stranded in Dili after captain canceled

[De Faoithe]

I am seeking to get to Australia in June and the boat delivery I was suppose to be crewing got canceled. Normally I'd take a flight but considering I paid to come out here for a boat ride I'd view it as a waste of money to leave now by plane.

Is there anyone in Dili or Indonesia now and heading to Australia? I know the winds arent favourable but my ex-captain was willing to go.
