Currently listening to 10pm radio sked conducted by Henry Jacobs of Tamar Sea Rescue. We can't hear the boats but Henry is repeating their positions. They are in much the same position plotted on the blog, which means it is working well.

After a lovely dinner at the Furneaux Tavern we have moved into our "house" for the next day and a bit - the TasPorts building at Lady Barron Wharf.

Flinders Island locals Robyn and Gerald Dilger are the head marshalls here and always extend us fantastic hospitality.

After the sked it seems the boats are moving relatively slowly with about 70 miles still to go. However Terry has reported experiencing about 18 knots and it seems to be swinging to the north-east, meaning the boats may have to beat in to Lady Barron.

This means a waiting game for volunteers and hopefully some sleep for the committee!
