Back at Clayton's corner after sailing Tika Taka down to Malaleuca and staying in the bushwalkers huts for the night the previous night. Great sail down there and a 2 hour row back. Incredible to

Sailed into Bathurst Harbour from Payne Bay with a 20-25 knot Westerly chasing us in. Lovely sail past all the peaks once on the inside with just the jib up and the clouds cleared for a good view of

Had another great sail and motor around yesterday in light SE winds. A bit sloppy around SW cape, but managed to sail for most but 1.5 hours with code 0 up. Had a beautiful clear afternoon again

Stopped at Louisa Bay since the weather was so settled....pretty sure the photos from here will go "straight to the pool room" :). Absolutely extraordinary scenery and feel incredibly lucky to

Managed to get away by 12:45 after an intense morning of work. Boat was a complete mess, so not unhappy to motor for most of the way down to clean up and make water. De Entrecasteaux channel was

After a great week on the MAST free pontoon in the centre of Hobart (thanks MAST for letting us stay while we got our engine mounts done!), we moved to Lindisfarne this morning to finish off and

Did a one day run from Schouten Passage, through Denison Canal to Hobart. Had a solid 25-30 NE across Norfolk Bay but good flat water and could still lay Hobart after we rounded the Iron Pot, which

After a final walk along the beach at Wineglass yesterday afternoon, we moved 10 miles down to Crocketts Beach on Schouten Island. Had a quick walk/ climb up the steep hill of Mt Bear for an

Tucked in at Wineglass bay close to the point and managed to get enough protection from the NE'ly and N'ly to stay last night, thus avoiding the "Schouten Shuffle". Grateful for low draft and two

Mixed bag yesterday. Some great lightwind sailing and then the northerly steadily built to 25 knots. Warm front passed over and we got 30-35kts for a period and then nothing at all. Kept switching

Had a great day yesterday. Rigged tika taka, and sailed across the bay with Stackbouses on the hobie and had a lovely crayfish lunch at Stacky's bite. Sailed back and enjoyed the light and bright

Good sail over from Deal Island in the afternoon - although fairly washy leaving Deal with the current in that area. Now on a mooring in Killiecrankie Bay on NW Flinders Island. Another very

Anchored in Garden Cove, Deal Island. Had a nice sail over here on New Year's Eve from Flinders with a few knots more wind than expected and a solid swell early but nothing too uncomfortable

Moved up to safety beach in the northerly chop and discovered a lovely anchorage. Went shopping and got accosted by the marina security guard for typing the dinghy up in the wrong spot, despite

Moved across to anchor straight off McCrae yacht club. This is the dinghy club where it all started....with mum and dad learning to sail on a 470 in their 50's. Nice to hang out and have friends
