  • This is the final video in a series of three of a six-week cruise from Macquarie Harbour to (near) Hobart. In this video, I sail around the South West Cape, a day of sailing that was looming large throughout the trip. The weary relief I appear to be feeling at Louisa Bay is real.
    This leg of the journey involved 6 consecutive days of sailing and sleeping aboard, including two days beating out against strong winds to the Bathurst Harbour entrance.
    Mat Conboy joined me for the last day of the trip, between Tinderbox and Lime Bay. If you want more in-depth details of this trip and my Tasmania dinghy trips in general, check out Mat's excellent video at Small Craft Tasmania: • Ep. 16 - SOLO AROUND T...

    Southwest Cape! In a dinghy. And seemingly so under control. Great job Geoff

    Love it. Some of those swells looked big - and then I remind myself that the camera halves the actual size of the waves! Beautiful and inspiring work.

      Yes, definitely re the wave size Peter. Some of the bigger sets were really impressive at the time, but when I look at the video it looks fairly mundane.

    I've been watching your Houdini on UA-cam for years. Absolutely love it. I watched Mat's doco the other day as well. Great stuff and well done.

    That rounding of the cape was as good as rounding Cape Horn - some serious swells there. Thanks again for sharing the adventure.

    Really enjoying your short films, getting a glimpse into the adventurous dinghy life. Not sure my back would take it! Someone may have already asked but what's your navigation system on board?

      Hi Andy. I keep a hand held gps (Garmin 78 I think) in my pfd pocket. It's got Australian charts preloaded. Back-up paper charts tucked away as well. The Garmin has been going strong for 10 years now and I've never needed to pull out the paper charts.
