Cyclone season is summer in Aus. Dec through to the end of feb primarily. However once you get inisde 5 degrees nth-sth of the equator you are relatively safe from cyclones. Although
wind may be slight and variable. ( its not called the doldrums for nothing)
With that in mind there are lots of places to safely
cruise in Indonesia that will be relatively safe from Cyclones.
Crossing to indo is quite fast assuming you are leaving from Darwin. East Timor (although still somewhat unstable) is only three days away, even if you average only a 100 nm a day.
Ambon is only 550 nm away. 5 days sail. Depending your departure time, the Darwin Ambon
race might be a nice option for you.
