Tuesday 10^th April

No time for a long blogpost today…we are under way, heading for Hell’s Gates.  It is just on 5.30pm and getting dark.  We hope to anchor in Pilot’s Bay, just near the entrance to the harbour, so we can make a speedy and efficient start early (4am….) tomorrow.

Sad to say goodbye to beautiful Strahan and the amazing people and scenery…but ready for the last leg of the trip.

All things being equal we will be comin’ round the mountain singing yi yi yippy yippy etc sometime on Sunday.  So look out for us somewhere on the Derwent.

By the way –it is calm and millpond-ish on Macquarie Harbour right now, so…all so well

(In case I am unable to make contact over the next few days…happy birthday Pauline, happy birthday Stuart!)
