Hobart Wooden Boat Festival 2017
After the setback Flinders Island and the trip to Kettering to get the
sail fixed Malua had to pick up crew in Hobart as Denny flew in for the
Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart. While on passage to Hobart I had
met a number of wooden yachts and others on their way south so it was
great to meet up with them again in Hobart. Malua anchored out
but was able to get a spot in the DSS marina. A real up-market
marina with great pontoons and facilities and as you would expect
cheaper than the BB marina.
Denny arrived and we spent the day walking around the waterfront of
Hobart a place we had visited more than 12 years previously on
Malua. Not much had changed although the house prices had risen
along with the rest of Oz. The first day of the festival was beautiful
weather but the next few days the wind and rain arrived. It did
not dampen the spirits of the people.
