E121 - Wineglass Bay, Tasmania's MOST Photographed Beach
We head further up the Tamar River anchoring at Little Devils Elbow, where we walk to a nearby winery passing a very creative street with custom letter boxes made from old gas bottles, picking wild blackberries along the way. Returning from our days outing, we luckily find our anchor suddenly dragging just as we arrive to see it leave without us onboard. Even though we had sat safely already for over a day and sat through several strong wind blows, it shows you always need to be careful. We finally discover the cause of our blockage for our through hull, a fish incredibly got drawn up the pipe! We travel further upstream under Batman Bridge to Gravelly Beach, and visit Stoney Rise and Marion's Wineries, climbing up a very old, worn and rickety jetty to get to shore. We then head off very early in the morning across the top and sail overnight down the east coast to the picturesque and most photographed beach in Tasmania, Wineglass Bay.

We’re Chris and Jo and we have been living on our Seawind 1260 since January 2019. In our first year we bring our yacht down the east coast of Australia and sail it out to New Caledonia. After cruising further north up the east coast of Australia in 2020, we decide to circumnavigate Australia during 2021 and 2022. We had previously owned fishing and water skiing boats, but after a couple years crewing in South Australia we decided to jump right in and make a sea change. We are just an ordinary Aussie couple exploring what this great world has to offer and hope that we can inspire others just as we were by watching other YouTube channels to follow our dreams. #sailingboat #sailingyacht #yacht #yachting #yachtinglifestyle #cruisinglife #circumnavigationaustralia #seawind1260 #seawindcats #sailing #tasmania
