Gone Cruising

Traveled from Deviot to Rosevears where we had lunch at an old pub, very up market. We also took the tender over the other side to Windemeare to see a beautiful old church (est. 1831). Leaving at 1pm we deaprted for Launceston, to ensure that we would arrive on a high tide at 3pm. The Tamar river is very pretty and gets very narrow the closer one gets to Launceston. Launcseton is nestled into the surrounding hills and is very beautiful.

There is a suspension bridge further adding to the beauty of our surroundings. The Tamar Yacht Club is small and we have tied up to a floating pontoon and have access to toilets, showers and there is also a washing machine if required. Azure had rafted up along side us and will move alongside the pontoon later today. There is a substantial tidal movement in the river, and is very obvious here with boats standing out of the water when it is low tide. We are actually on the bottom in mud at low tide.

It is a short walk into the CBD and there are several walks to do whilst we are here.
