Sailing on Sherbro
25th Mar 2009
Sailed Up the Derwent to Hobart

We`ve been very lucky to get a berth at the Motor Yacht Club Tasmania marina in Lindisfarne. Space in Hobart marinas is at a premium, all having long waiting lists. We were able to sublet a berth for three months ie until the end of June 2009. We lost no time heading across Frederick Henry Bay, past Betsey Island (there is plenty of room to go between the island and Black Jack rock) and then in Storm Bay could see the Iron Pot lighthouse at the entrance of the River. Derwent.  Winds were very light so it took nearly eight hours to reach the Tasman Bridge. Gave us lots of time to take in the view of Mount Wellington and try to identify all the little communities along the river banks. The marina is very comfortable. Lindisfarne is a Hobart suburb not far from Bellerive and a short bus trip  to the Hobart CBD.
