We started the day by going to the Hobart Harbor since the winning boat from the Sydney to Hobart sailing race was just coming in. We were especially eager to see the boat, the Comanche, since it was built in Damariscotta, Maine, although the crew was Australian. It is a very impressive sailboat!!


From there we drove north for a day trip to Freycinet Park, formed by glaciers with lovely rock formations and inlets from the sea. When we arrived, we hiked 1000 feet up to Wine Glass Bay. The climb in parts was intense. David was a good coach and cheered me on-good training for the Camino!! He also pointed out roots so that I could prevent myself from falling !! The park is very beautiful although the temperature was in the high 80’s.










It might have been that tall sailboat I saw in Portland this summer. I think it was the tallest steel (?) mast anywhere.
I’ll email you a pic it I can find it.
