Hi all,
One of the highlights of my recent trip to Tasmania (along with seeing
Comet Lovejoy from dark skies) was doing a two day cruise on my sister's yacht. We sailed from Orford north past Maria Island and the Ile des Phoques ("Island of Seals"), up the exposed eastern side of Schouten Island and into Schouten Passage. After a late afternoon swim in freezing cold but beautiful blue water on the southern tip of Freycinet Peninsula, we headed back to a sheltered anchorage on Schouten Island guided by a pod of dolphins. Next morning we continued up the western side of Freycinet Peninsula to Coles Bay, and then sailed across Great Oyster Bay under spinnaker to Swansea. Here are some photos from the trip.
Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Stephen
