The brief meeting will start soon after 1800 hours on Tuesday 3 December at Tas Maritime headquarters on The Domain. Barry McCann will give a short talk on the operation of the station. A BYO everything BBQ will take place after the meeting, allowing for an informal Festive Season get together for members.
If you wish to observe the 1733 radio broadcast arrive by 1720. It is necessary for members to remain quiet during this broadcast, and any subsequent broadcasts. The evening has always been a favourite with members, along with our hosts at Tas Maritime. A good opportunity to put a face to the voices we hear while cruising.
And my regular reminder, PLEASE REGISTER for the barbecue.

Seeking expressions of interest for a cruise around to Strahan.
Around the 18 February leave from Recherche Bay for a 7–10-day trip to Strahan. The plan is to spend as much time as possible cruising the coastline, visiting as many anchorages and features as possible. We will spend some time in Port Davey.
Because of the possibility of severe weather and lack of support (apart from our own abilities), your craft needs to be thoroughly seaworthy with at least one competent, experienced crew.
I would like to have a look at you boat before the trip commences to be confident that you are well prepared for possible inclement weather.
The boats must have a maximum draft of 1.8 metres and have excellent multiple anchors ready to deploy. They need to be able to make ground to windward in a gale (hopefully not necessary). Maximum number of boats 4 because some of the anchorages are tight.

After starting his sailing life cruising on yachts, Geoff decided 10 years ago to try a simpler approach to cruising, and downsized to a 13‘2" cruising dinghy, Dinghy Spart. Since then, he has cruised around Tasmania and across Bass Strait in Dinghy Spart, amongst many other smaller voyages. Geoff will discuss his voyages and describe the challenges of dinghy cruising, as well as the advantages and lessons he has learned along the way.

Divide up crews into 3-4 groups on lead boats. Identify crew’s own boat as a volunteer tow boat. Lead boat positions and lashes up alongside the anchored volunteer boat. When secure, the volunteer boat lifts anchor, maneuvered out with the lead boat.
Then, change the setup for a Long Tow and tow for a period in safe water.
Next, set up alongside again, return to the anchorage and anchor the volunteer boat.
