Every second year, in the lead up to the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, a very special expedition takes place. The ten day Tawe Nunnugah from Recherche Bay and travels through the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, nights camping ashore with full shore support and catering. About 30 boats and 90 people take part, some people traveling from interstate and abroad to participate, and it is an incredible experience. To be in the Derwent Estuary in the middle of the awesome Parade of Sail, and arrive into Sullivans Cove with all the fanfare and excitement of the start of Festival.
