Comments

We are getting very close to Tasmania with only 180 nautical miles to travel to Hobart. Even though we will arrive tomorrow we will be at anchorage until we berth Tuesday morning. It is exciting to get home but also tinged with sadness as it means that a great experience is coming to an end. It is a bit like breaking up the band with the members dispersing back to their homes. No one can take away the memories and there are copious amounts of photos and videos to remind us that we have had one of the great experiences of a lifetime.

Packing and preparations continue and the occasional trip to the bridge to see the sun that we have not seen much of for a couple of weeks.

Cheers
Leanne & Matt
