Tassie tour
On board the Alcheringa with Mark, Marita, Peter, Geoff & Dean.

Monday 28 feb
Boarded in Hobart at Constitution dock and departed Hobart to travel
to port Arthur past cape raoul. Magnificent cliff face at Cape Raoul -
we were averaging 14 Nautical miles (Nm)
Saw seals on cape raoul before stopping for a spot of fishing.
Dropped lines but only got small reef fish such as butterfly perch &
red gournet perch which were returned to the ocean. Travelled to Port
Arthur & spent a couple of hours checking out the historical site.
Said a little prayer for the victims & their loved ones at the
memorial cross.
Set sail again and travelled to Tasman island where saw the incredibly
steep and dangerous track built and used to supply the lighthouse when
it was in use.
The Lanterns were our last spectacular landmark before we headed into
Fortescue Bay.
Moored in Canoe Bay / Fortescue bay for the night, lovely & calm waters.
Slept like a log after dinner & a couple of drinks. 63 Nm sailed, 188
litres of diesel used for the day.
