Absolutely wonderful afternoon out on the Derwent. Sunshine, Tasmanian cheeses and home made scones
Exceptional afternoon. Great commentary and the opportunity to be at the helm was awesome. Thank you for a wonderful few hours. Very relaxing.
It wasn't the best weather on the Derwent River, but the whole thing was highly enjoyable and the Derwent River is still beautiful even when its gray and raining. Our hosts were very gracious and went so far as to offer to go out at another time when it was sunnier, unfortunately this was the only time we had available. Our hosts and skipper were all very knowlegable about the art of sailing and encouraged us to get involved which was alot of fun. Highly recommended.
