Looks great! How often does it get wind , what's the average windspeed and how consistent is it?
I'm a bit worried about all the tales I've heard of non locals hitting sandbars getting around the area..

Burrum heads is not a consistent sailing location.

Good conditions (15 to 25kts) require a combination of wind direction, strength and a low tide. There are probably less than 10 good days a year. The majority of these occur during the autumn SEers. A well positioned Low or Cyclone in the lower Coral Sea can produce epic conditions. This does not happen very often. The last time was at Burrum Windfest in 2013.

Once you know where the sandbars are located then, sensible sailing can avoid running aground and damaging gear and sailors.
