Back at sea, en route to Tasmania

Monday, March 5, 2007 €” The Schooner Maggie B is at sea again. We left the lovely Fremantle Sailing Club at about 1630 today, underway for Tasmania. I will start noon position reports tomorrow.

We hope to be in Hobart for the start of their bi-annual "Ten Days on the Island" Festival, which starts March 22 or 23. If we have the time, we also hope to explore the wild SW coast of Tasmania, especially a place called Port Davey at 43° 20S, 146° E. Users of Google Earth will notice that not only there are no buildings there, there are no roads. It apparently takes six days to walk in from the nearest trail head, or get dropped off by sea plane. It is supposed to be lovely.

We will have more impressions of Fremantle and our marvelous stay there tomorrow.

All is well.
