EP 5 SAILING IN TASMANIA - Fortescue Bay, Canoe Bay, Hen & Chicken, Mariah Island, Wineglass Bay

Impi is sailing around the world - this is our 7th year of full time sailing on our catamaran, a Lagoon 440 This video series will be more of interest to those who enjoy sailing in different destinations and not for general tourism purposes. In Episode 5 of SAILING IN TASMANIA, We share some of the beautiful anchorages and sailing attractions between Port Arthur and St Helens on the NE coast of Tasmania. Our sailing views are from Port Arthur to: Sailing around the intrepid Tasman Island (Cape Pillar, Cathedral Rock) Fortescue Bay / Canoe Bay for shelter from bad weather Hen and Chickens ( a dramatic rock and mountain surrounded anchorage on Schouten Island South) Wind Glass Bay and we end with the passage into St Helens. When we googled for some information on entering St Helens (a tricky and sometimes dangerous sand bar crossing) we found little to nothing so we will share a but more about that in our next video, however we do show our planned route from satelite imagery and then also the actual track we 'pulled' as we followed VMR (Volunteer Marine Rescue) in, a service they provide in return for a small donation to their cause. VMR do a great service for folks sailing around Australian waters - the authorities here are amazing! Drone footage: We were advised by a Park Ranger on Mariah Island it is not permitted to fly drones there - fortunately the Park Ranger was close by when we took off so being in full view of him he kindly explained the rules. It is prohibited from flying drones over land in National Park Territories so the only footage we are able to get is from over water looking onto the land apparently and even then one has to have full visual over the drone. We never knew all these rules apply so be advised when sailing into Australian waters to respect local rules around drones. GoFundMe Link for animal welfare: https://www.gofundme.com/sailing-with...
