Hi Pete/Andy. Following your journey with interest from home in Plymouth UK. I will be in Launceston (Tas) on 10 Feb prior to doing Overland Track so should be near you at your current progress. Met Pete many years ago when he gave a talk at Plym YC. Also been on board Spirit when at Plymouth Classics. Maybe a third contact coming!! Keep paddling, keep safe. Don

Pete,
Just so pleased that you got to see Freycinet and particularly Wineglass Bay in all its glory - the most beautiful bay in the world! Now you know why I took the 3 peaks race there. DO take Tracey there, it is just the best. Enjoy Bicheno, Scamander, St Helens, Binnalong Bay, Banks Strait etc - my much missed home waters.

Hi Pete,
You are camped exactly where we camped last year on a trip down the east coast. When you get a little further north the tidal currents will start to kick in. When you cross Ringarooma Bay, head for Waterhouse Island, named by Bass and Flinders,the first europeans to circumnavigate Tasmania or Van Diemens Land as it was then called. The owner of the island, Clive Roberts, will probably allow you to use the restored shearers quarters that has beds and a toilet. Mention the Maatsuyker Canoe Club as he frequently allows us to have our AGM on the island.

Well done, both of you. As I see "Google Earth" it looks to be down hill going west, but I don't expect the paddling will feel that way!! Best wishes, Michael

Mate, If you plan to stop again before the Tamar River, give my sister Robin a call. She has a shack at Lulworth which you might be able to doss down in.

Hi Pete & Andy,
went out to Lowhead this morning to get some video/photos of you sailing past but you were too fast. The internet must have been slow because one minute you were at 5 mile bluff then you had past the lighthouse. I bet you has some fun today, did you actually have to paddle?
