OUR 5 MINUTE VISTA BEFORE THE MOVE TO OFF LOAD THE PETROL |
FRIDAY 23.3.2012: Completed the washing, yes shaved the legs, cleaned the motorhome and cleared the fridge. The day dawned and with chores complete we set up for our restful day in the park facing the ocean. Decided to recheck the travel details - no fuel in the generator or jerry can. On the trip over the Leyland Sisters had not fired the generator so there was no issue. We packed up and headed for an appropriate petrol dump point, then ran the generator to burn up the fuel. All this literally through a thunderstorm - hail included! Cleaned the jerry can, soaked up excess fuel and really did not relax all day! Did make it to the boat on time and the poodles made the trip across in the motorhome. As before, we sedated both, bid them farewell and made our way upstairs. Much easier access onto the boat from Devonport than St Kilda. We ordered the wine, found a seat and were advised of the expected thunderstorms and high seas - had TravelCalm for tea. Not much sleep, but the trip was bearable. Just love this warning sign - can imagine having a quiet picnic waiting for the Spirit to sail past, the rest as they say, would be history! We have thoroughly enjoyed everything about Tasmania and completely underestimated the amount of time we required here. There are so many areas that we did not reach or activities that were not experienced. Tasmania is certainly a well kept secret.
