these are the leads into Port Huon Marina!!!.
They light up at night just like Christmas poles.
Expansion works including dredging to 3.5 metres and the
installation of a huge travel lift began the day before we left.
Expect Port Huon Marina to have a higher profile in the future.

Herreshoff ketches receiving a good makeover.

We left Port Huon as winds on the river increased to
30 knots. Glenn had to seek shelter under the dodger.
Photo doesn't really capture the drama of the
unexpectant wet male.
Cygnet is very pretty, and the coffee and cake
are really yummy.
No on locks up their gear in these parts.
On Tuesday we retreated to the calmer waters of Cygnet having been hold-up in Port Huon for just a bit too long. I guess we just got bored. I didn't even win the battle of enrolling in the Boat Building Diploma. ( a life changed commitment to be sure). (Well at least I tried by whinging)
Cabin fever had started to corrode our patience.
The trip was a wild downwind motoring event with a steady 30 knots westerly to stern.
Lots of river waves passing us and heading out to the main channel.
A wet ride for some.
We are really enjoying this anchorage, its beauty and proximity to the little township but tomorrow we'll head off to visit another new cove/bay.
Thanks for following our blog

Tereza and Winsor Dobbin are the people I know at Cygnet,

We are back on deck (so as to speak)
ReplyDeleteBeen catching up with your blogg. You two still "living the life of Riley"? Did you know that you can have too much of a good thing? Or so we are told - personally, we say GO FOR IT.
Extremely envious that you are still in Tasmania - loved it so [especially our meeting in Hobart]

Fear Tabourie will lose you both to your new way of life - and who can blame you?
Cheers
