Every two years, the Australian Wooden Boat Festival hits Hobart. We’d hoped to be in Hobart in time for the show but the cursing wonder and beauty of Tasmania got in the way. Plan B: take the bus from Port Arthur. That’s what we did. And here’s what we saw…
It was a pretty amazing show with lots of boats (and lots and lots of people in attendance). Besides boats, there was food, grog and boat gear. What more could we want?
We also had a wonderful cruising family reunion. We’d met all these people in the Tropical Pacific in our first few years of cruising. We all kind of keep tabs on each other via blogs, facebook or YIT.com.nz. We were all in the neighborhood and the boat show made the perfect rendezvous. It was so good to catch up with these great people! -Rich
