Yesterday we started the last leg before the crossing of Bass Strait, moving from Mayfield Bay to Wineglass Bay sailing across Great Oyster Bay through Schouten passage. Stunning scenery!

Motoring north and into Wineglass Bay, the scenery and rock formations were fantastic, though difficult to capture and photograph well with our phone cameras.

The entrance followed The Hazards into to Wineglass Bay and was nothing short of spectacular! Majestic! Gobsmacking! We were in awe. Sheer rock walls and giant granite boulders stained from eons of waterfalls and bright orange lichen. The large shaped bay that Wineglass is famous for unfolded before us.

We went for a walk up to the lookout to take a picture of LaGecko in the bay. 1000 steps up 1000 steps down.

It was a very rolly anchorage with 20kn winds at times from the west and the slight swell coming in from the east giving us a very broken nights sleep.

We are now on our way to Eden leaving Wineglass Bay at 8.30am motoring into a NNW breeze of around 17kts. We are expecting a southerly change around mid-day. Fingers crossed after two nights of night sailing will land us in Eden Friday afternoon.

This will be the first time Kaz and I will have done overnight sails on our own.

We did sail nine overnights when we bought the boat from Hervey bay down to Hobart. We had two crew on board. This time we are doing it on our own.

Well bye to Tassie ❤️ for now 😊 we will be back someday.
