Departed Wynyard

1740 Position: 41 05.3 S 146 11.9 E This afternoon we departed Wynyard at 1400, just before high water, and are on our way to Devonport where we should arrive around 2000. We have enjoyed a pleasant stay in Wynyard, particularly the hospitality of a couple of local yachties, Bruce and Rod, and the skipper of a fishing boat berthed immediately in front of us, Anthony. Rod generously provided us with a chart of the Tamar River and a large pile of fresh apples. There are too many apples for us to eat so Kate is turning some of them into an apple crumble. And I have to thank Anthony for helping me jerry can some fuel back to Sylph from the nearby service station in his ute. All is well. |
