From an old Tassie sea dog... you don't come down to the 40s and expect Queensland weather ;-)

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

No....but a little more summer would have been noice.

[@Jujbbyigs8766]

I just went hiking at Frecynet with my son camped at hazard bay. I will bring my Duncanson 299 down this way in a couple of weeks. love your work. Bonesy

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks Dude. Safe travels.

[@captratty2167]

There are two seasons in Tasmania. Winter and February. But once you get into southern waters you are never more than a few hours from safe anchorage, no matter what the weather throws at you. No cyclones, no crocs, no stingers, no sand flies, no mosquitoes. Fit a good diesel heater and you can sail all year round. You will often have the whole bay to yourself. But don’t tell too many people how good it is!

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yep..Tassie has heaps going for it. Fantastic people down there too.
May have another visit left in me. I'll keep it quiet though dude.

[@CamperKev]

Hi Norm. I'm still enjoying your videos, since meeting you by chance at Ulmarra NSW, when you were tied up at the landing and playing the guitar, down below the Ulmurra Pub. I might run into you again one day. Maybe when you visit Iluka again. FYI - they started to demolish the old pub at Iluka and the new one will soon be under construction. Safe sailing..........

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Great Kevin. I'll be back up there in a month or two. Will miss the old pub. It had lots of character....and asbestos.

[@CamperKev]

@@MotorSailingforOldDudesIThe Iluka Pub certainly did have character and a gut load of asbestos. A temporary bar is being setup at the moment. It might be made from shipping containers, but I'm not sure. Time will tell. I hope I run into you again. This time in Iluka maybe. I'm often up there visiting my parents. Probably unlikely but if I do see you, I hope you don't mind if I say hello. 😁🇦🇺

[@richardmason902]
