Before we get to Hobart - Day 8

Our three wonderful days in West Tamar, while waiting for more favourable winds, have been filled with much enjoyment. Activites have included sampling of local fare, tasteing cooler climate wines, catching and eating our own seafood, bush walking, visiting Launceston, catching up with friends and .... shopping at chandleries! We have left the Tamar River this morning and sailing on a broad reach and gliding over a gentle sea at 6 plus knots. We are intending to stay at Foster Inlet (Thursday evening) and then complete the passage through Banks Strait early tomorrow (Friday) when tide and wind are predicted to be in our favour.
