@Opposite PoleAnyways, would you be up for a trip down to Tassie in the autumn? This is a long shot but if we managed to allign everything I could maybe organise for us to sail back from Tasmania to Sydney. A beautiful trip. I can’t promise I can get it done, but it is not out of the question. The sail would be 3-4 days of casual sailing with a stop in Bermagui, but the weather has to be right. Unlike summer time, the autumn down there is typically defined by a lovely, predictable anticyclone system, however every year is different and I was once stuck in Hobart for two weeks in March trying to get a 24 hr window to get through Bass straight.
Sounds like a plan but I get sea sick in a bath tub. I like good old Terra firma, the more firma the less terror. Boats and me are like 243s and me, a combination that never ends well. Now If'n you were to drive up from Melbourne to Sydney that could be a different story.
