Seeking expressions of interest for a cruise around to Strahan.
Around the 18 February leave from Recherche Bay for a 7–10-day trip to Strahan. The plan is to spend as much time as possible cruising the coastline, visiting as many anchorages and features as possible. We will spend some time in Port Davey.
Because of the possibility of severe weather and lack of support (apart from our own abilities), your craft needs to be thoroughly seaworthy with at least one competent, experienced crew.
I would like to have a look at you boat before the trip commences to be confident that you are well prepared for possible inclement weather.
The boats must have a maximum draft of 1.8 metres and have excellent multiple anchors ready to deploy. They need to be able to make ground to windward in a gale (hopefully not necessary). Maximum number of boats 4 because some of the anchorages are tight.

Since then, he has cruised around Tasmania and across Bass Strait in Dinghy Spart, amongst many other smaller voyages. Geoff will discuss his voyages and describe the challenges of dinghy cruising, as well as the advantages and lessons he has learned along the way.
