Ex members Tolly and Josephine Jaworsky have invited CYCT members along to their holiday home on the foreshore for sundowners on Friday afternoon. 78 Pottery Road is the address and 1600 hours start time. Come by boat or car and bring along the usual goodies to share, making this now an great annual get-together.
*** UPDATE ***
Take a four day break and head to Port Esperence to experience the annual Regatta run by PESC. Join a race (if so inspired!) from Kettering or Cygnet to Dover on Friday, there will be racing and social activites on Saturday and Sunday and then return home on Monday.
A very big welcome is waiting you from the Port Esperence Sailing Club. Many onwater activities to watch whilst at anchor, of large and small yachts along with older timber boats under full sail.
Mark Hosking and his partner, Mandy, lived aboard 53‘ narrowboat ‘Starcross‘ in central England for two years before migrating to Tasmania in 2004.
Returning to England on family business in 2024, Mark set off one day to walk down the Lea Navigation from the northern edge of London to the river Thames looking for Starcross as he had heard that it had been recently spotted on that canal.
Mark‘s talk will cover a bit of the history of England‘s canals interspersed with a few stories from living ‘on the cut‘.

Although the CYCT has received approval to pass through the Bridgewater Bridge, the cruise is not going to go ahead. Concerns about safely passing in the new channel through the old bridge, debris in the river, how the river is closed on Saturday for rowing racing and the lack of places to moor whilst in New Norfolk with what is expected to be a very busy weekend on the river. Once things settle down, then we can plan a new date.
* * UPDATE * *
Take the rising tide from 0930 hours on Saturday and head up the Derwent under the new Bridgewater Bridge and hopefully through the gap where the old Lifting bridge was - and isn‘t anymore (?) - to tie up in New Norfolk on one of the pontoons, or anchor somewhere suitable and relax overnight before heading to the Festival on Sunday. In the past there‘s been lots of colour, food, crafts and games. Keep space in your tummy for one of everyone‘s favourites - a dagwood dog dunked in tomato sauce !
Return Sunday afternoon, after you‘re full, with the tide rising until 1721 in Hobart.
THIS CRUISE WILL ONLY BE POSSIBLE AFTER THE LIFTING BRIDGE HAS BEEN REMOVED. CHECK FOR UPDATES NEARER THE TIME.
With mastermind Andrew Boon heading up this year‘s navigation rally you can be assured of a quality set of tasks and questions to set you and your invited guests on the way to being awarded the DSMNR trophy.
Mortimer Bay is the destination this year ( finding Mortimer Bay is the first challenge of the rally!) and plan to overnight Saturday night so you can enjoy the socialising afterwards with the option for a beach BBQ while you hear who the talented winners are.
As usual, great prizes will again be on offer.
Catch up at an arranged anchorage on the Tasman Peninsula and try for a circumnavigation over the next few days. Weather permitting we can take our time and spend some hours appreciating the fantastic scenery as we sail along the eastern coastline.
