Thank you Steve. That means a lot coming from you. We are very lucky to live on this beautiful Island and enjoy being able to share our adventures. Stay Salty!
Back in the 1970s I owned a Drascombe Lugger up in the North of Scotland for which I made a boom tent. How would love to have that boat again in Tasmania. It would be perfect.
Love the videos, I'm looking at building a scamp in a couple of years and look forward to some fun trips, a side note on the Trangia snuffers, if you take the wind shield with the pot grip its easy to come in from windward and put the snuffers on with no risk of burns. Happy travels.
Lovely video guys... simple and beautiful, the place, not the people! I visited this area last Novemer, first time in Tas. Fell in love with it, 12mths later sold my farm in NSW and bought a house near Tullah, moving down in December this year... Going to spend my days doing river exploring... 👍
Great video of a wonderful adventure. A good ad for the boats and all of the gear, including the Trangia cooker. Thanks for making the video, great to watch.
I reckon this trip is the epitome of an adventure. Wonderful scenery, remote location, camping.... fantastic. Loved the sunset photo as well. Thanks for sharing👍
Another great Video another great adventure Mat, thank's for taking us along on the ride, we live in a stunning state and you guys showcase some of our beautiful waterways, can't wait to finish my Pathfinder I may follow in you tracks. Cheers guys well done.
Corinna is a fabulous place to stay. The trip down the Pieman River to the heads is also well worth it, better if you have a small sailing craft like the Welsford Navigator. Regards.
Yep, some do that...but if you can chill the abalone down slowly it kills them before they go tuff. Like anesthetising the fish, rather than shocking it quickly.
Great video team, I look forward to your videos now, great way to spend afternoon tea on the job (building in Lyttelton Canterbury NZ) great to have the extra boat (kayak) to get around and take superb shots. Will definitely stay salty. All the best Brad.
The song at the end, was that Solid Air by John Martyn played in reverse? I remember buying his album Solid AIr in 1977. Great trip by the way. I was at Corinna /Pieman river for the last 2 weeks. Beautiful part of the world.
Great footage along the river, loved the Navigator shots at sunset, especially that last one. Have located the Navigator construction photos mentioned previously , but couldn't see any way of contacting you on your channel. YT deleted my posts that had any links in them unfortunately, cheers, Laurie.
I haven't done any river sailing, so I'd like to ask some silly questions. If I am sailing South in a current of 5 knots (its a wide fast river) and the wind is blowing South at 10 knots. Will I get my normal speed in 10 knots of wind? i.e. if I normally sail 5 knots in 10 knots of wind, will I now get 10 knots with current? What if the wind is on the beam and at a right angle to the water flow? If there is no wind at all will I have steerage going downriver?
Great questions. I'm not an expert on river sailing but a google search brings up some good articles: www.pbo.co.uk/cruising/12-tips-sailing-norfolk-broads-17423
@@craiganderson8232 seriously though...not that many...we buy and sell...restore and sail...last month we sold 4 boats...so our collection is low at the moment. Stay Salty! ⚓
@@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx no l understand , I don't want everyone knowing my personal, just fascinated by it all, would love to trade boats my self, in fact stay at home and scrape, paint and work would be my retirement if it was possible. Love the work you do.Thanks again.👍
Ok my favourite small boat video to-date. Brilliantly done....thank you 👍👋

You both have a lovely style and storytelling ability. Fantastic stuff. You both take care now 👍

What a great trip! Jo was amazing paddling all that way - I am going to show Mrs that type of kayak. Solid Air looks beautiful too! J
Thanks Josh. I think the Nav is JW's most gorgeous design...very photogenic! But you probably agree.
A wonderful cruise. I especially enjoyed the minimalist choreography at 16:00. Thank you!
You're taking us to places that most of us are unlikey to see. Spectacular work. Well done.
Thanks Chris. It's a privilege to live in Tassie and rewarding to share these adventures with you.

Indeed ⚓️👍🏾
I think i met joe at many 90's parties, ryde st, etc
What an awesome little getaway. I have only had abalone once, I remember using my scuba tank to tenderize it😂😂😂
Yep, some do that...but if you can chill the abalone down slowly it kills them before they go tuff. Like anesthetising the fish, rather than shocking it quickly.
Was down at the heads in about "66. Put in at Corinna, motored down and camped in a shack. Great fishing trip - bugger all fish, but great time.
Special place!

Yes it is...well done! One of our favourite albums...hence where the name for the boat came from.
