Tassie Tour March 5
Went for run up and down the hills in St. Helens and arrived back to a
hive of activity on the boat. The hulls were flooded due to the
freshwater tank overflowing and the bilge pumps were accidently turned
off . Took a while to pump out and clean up, but we were on our way
before 9, heading to Waterhouse Island. We passed the bay of fires,
then navigated north then west round the top. We all had an hour in
the captain's chair and travelled 69 nm for the day. We stopped a
couple of times to fish - Geoff & Peter catching 16 flathead to add to
the freezer. Absolutely freezing outside and a largish swell to
contend with while stationary and fishing. We made it to our
destination of Croppies Bay opposite Waterhouse Island at around 5.30,
and dropped anchor for the night. The evening will be spent reading,
eating, and possibly trying to beat Mark at cards!
