More cover photos will always be welcome. My request for back issues of the Albatross was answered by Ken Newham who supplied a nearly complete collection of back issues. Many thanks to Ken. But I am still missing a few pages from Volume 1, so if you have any of those I would value borrowing them. The scanning continues, but it is a slow process... Our Club Warden, Keith Wells, probably deserves a column of his own in the Albatross. Keith seems always to be quietly busy advancing aims of the Club and yachting in general. One of his projects at present is to have restored the jetty in Quarantine Bay that once gave safe access to the Quarantine Station, now a National Park. The land near the jetty site is of course a popular sheltered BBQ site. Keith has added a copy of the recently published book on the history of the quarantine station to the Club’s library. Look for it at the next meeting. And if you are interested in helping with Keith’s discussions about the jetty, talk to him. By the time this issue of the Albatross is with the printer, Annick and I will be "Land Cruising" on the big Island making our A-van our temporary yacht. We will be taking the Devonport-Sydney ferry both ways, and hope to catch up with yachting friends in NSW and Queensland, so the sea will not be out-of-mind. Paul Kerrison has kindly offered to put the July Albatross to bed. Remarkably while I was typing the previous paragraph, and thinking that Spirit III is a pretty safe way of crossing Bass Strait, an email arrived from Jan and Ian Mitchell of Osprey_A,who some of you may have encountered as they cruised Tassie waters over the last 4 or 5 months. Osprey is a strongly built Currawong. They wrote: "We sailed from Lady Barron, Flinders Island last Tues afternoon, heading for Eden. The forecast was for 20 to 25knot westerly wind, gusting to 30 on a 2m swell with a 3m sea. That was what we were getting. We sailed briskly with a well reefed down rig. There was little water on deck and no slamming or jolting for 12 hours, until at 0220 hours on Wed morning 11th May, we encountered a rogue wave which very quickly tipped Osprey over to between 120 - 160 degrees, dropping us down the face of the wave. The mast broke into three, without breaking any rigging wires. The yacht then very quickly righted itself leaving about 200mm of water over the cabin floor. Alot of stuff was floating in the water, so that it was all a very soggy mess. Luckily, both of us were in the cabin at the time. Fifteen hours after the wave, we had cleared up enough and rid ourselves of the rigging, sending it on a 2 km trip to the ocean floor. We tentatively started the engine, and found it still worked, so we motored to Eden. There was no hull damage, some minor cabin top damage, some fibreglass staunchion bases on both sides failed in the inboard direction and the pushpit and solar panel arch were mangled." Thankfully, apart from bruises and strains, Ian and Jan are fine and reached Eden without assistance.

While it’s so close to the city, NTB is a quiet little bay with its friendly wildlife — it has its own ducks and shore birds but no New Zealand Fur Seals yet. They seem to be too busy over the river. One of the advantages of living here is the bike track and I thought I should take advantage of the fitness opportunities this excellent facility offers. Iused to enjoy riding a bicycle regularly and saw no reason why I wouldn’t just resume where I left off, 15 years ago. The first day I set off to work — my first five-kilometre trip — is a time that I don’t care to re-live. Iarrived at work all in one piece but the trip took longer than I expected, with more breaks than I’d anticipated. The trip home that afternoon was better, and anyway it was dark by then and I felt that darkness afforded me some kind of anonymity amongst all the people whizzing past in both directions. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of those people who stopped to see whether I was alright … I’ll try again tomorrow, maybe! Anyway, Phil and I are settling into a comfortable way of life on board and we are getting to know people in the marina. Last weekend we had our first trip away for the weekend while living aboard. It was successful and made coming home a pleasure on Sunday evening after a delightful weekend. We took part in the 10th Donald Sutherland Memorial Navigation Cruise. Congratulations to Andrew and Judy Boon on Reflections for their win in the navigation section of the event and to Dennis and Wendy Lees on Kiap for their victory in the crew questions section. Phil and I thought we had a reasonable range of reference books on board but alas, we found that a shortage of information on explorers, cartographers and navigators was apparent when it came to answering the questions in the after lunch section. The results sheet follows. The CYCT is appreciative of the sponsorship for the nav. cruise Albatross------------------------------------------------ Page 3June 2005 —Oyster Cove Marina generously donated a slipping to the DSMNC winner and Oyster Cove Chandlery a vest for the crew questions winner. The day was an adventure and the dinner in the evening was full of stories recounted about those adventures. Some people had bigger adventures than others; we’re still not quite sure why one member “went for a dip, betwixt jetty and ship” on the way to dinner. We don’t think he has an Obsession-al desire to swim after dark in the marina when it’s 10° —wethink he has a shower onboard. The Committee is planning a special 30th Anniversary Dinner and other events to mark this important occasion. More coming later. Good cruising, Helen Start Donald Sutherland Memorial Cruise Albatross------------------------------------------------ Page 4June 2005 Alan on Neptune gets his instructions from Lalaguli Rosemary Kerrison on Obsession Albatross------------------------------------------------ Page 5June 2005 Vice Commodore’s Report Rosemary Kerrison Obsession Nine boats namely Andromeda, Neptune, Swansong, Lalagulli, Windrush, Obsession, Kalisea and Cadence, set off for New Norfolk in light steady rain for the Anzac Long Weekend. Visibility was poor but on our arrival at the jetty in New Norfolk the rain eased and then cleared so walking to dinner at Verandahs in the Valley was very pleasant. An early fog on the river on Sunday morning lifted by 10am when members congregated on shore in the rotunda for “Brunch”. On leaving New Norfolk a light breeze came up and some captains flew spinnakers, a genoa or headsail to sail down to the Bridgewater Bridge. After successfully navigating through the opening at 3.15pm the southern side of Claremont Golf Club was selected for the Sunday night anchorage. Some boats left early Monday morning before a very strong N – NW wind came up making sailing for the rest impossible. Congratulations to Reflections captain and crew on winning the Donald Sutherland Navigation Cruise and Wendy and Denis Lees and crew on board Kiap who won the Crews questions. A very big thank you to Barry and Margaret Jones, Margaret and Robert Grey, Bill and Trish Wright and Roger and Pat Locke for all their efforts in making the cruise such a success. 10 Club and 3 control boats took part including other members of the Club who crewed on some of the Club boats. Thank you to Oyster Cove Slipyard for the generous donation of a boat slipping for the winner and to Oyster Cove Chandlery for a sleeveless polo top for the crew’s questions winner. Dinner followed at Oyster Cove Hotel and was enjoyed very much by those attending. Franklin is the chosen spot for the long weekend June 11th,12th and 13th.Obsession will depart Kettering at 10am on Saturday 11th June to travel to Franklin where boats can tie up at the Wooden Boat Centre jetty.

  • Deal Island an Historical Overview
    Introduction. In June 1840 the Port Officer of Hobart Captain W. Moriarty wrote to the Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, Sir John Franklin suggesting that lighthouses should be erected in Bass Strait. On February 3rd. 1841 Sir John Franklin wrote to Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales seeking his co-operation. Government House, Van Diemen’s Land. 3rd. February 1841 My Dear Sir George. ………………….This matter has occupied much of my attention since my arrival in the Colony, and recent ocurances in Bass Strait have given increased importance to the subject, within the four years of my residence here, two large barques have been entirely wrecked there, a third stranded a brig lost with all her crew, besides two or three colonial schooners, whose passengers and crew shared the same fate, not to mention the recent loss of the Clonmell steamer, the prevalence of strong winds, the uncertainty of either the set or force of the currents, the number of small rocks, islets and shoals, which though they appear on the chart, have but been imperfectly surveyed, combine to render Bass Strait under any circumstances an anxious passage for seamen to enter. The Legislative Council, Votes and Proceedings between 1841 – 42 had much correspondence on the viability of erecting lighthouses in Bass Strait including Deal Island. In 1846 construction of the lightstation began on Deal Island with the lighthouse completed in February 1848. The first keeper William Baudinet, his wife and seven children arriving on the island in March 1848. From 1816 to 1961 about 18 recorded shipwrecks have occurred in the vicinity of Deal Island, with the Bulli (1877) and the Karitane (1921) the most well known of these shipwrecks.

  • A Survey of Potential Marine Reserve Locations in Bass Strait
    A Survey of Potential Marine Reserve Locations in Bass Strait Final Report Ocean Rescue 2000 Project D701 For Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service Contents Page 4 Introduction 5 Methods 9 Results 9 Waterhouse Point to Cape Portland survey 16 King Island survey 20 Rocky Cape survey 24 Eastern Bass Strait Islands survey 24 1. Cape Barren Island 30 2. Curtis Island 33 3. Hogan Group 36 4. Kent Group 42 Discussion 43 Conclusions 44 References 2 Abstract The Tasmanian north coast, King Island, and Tasmania's eastem Bass Strait Islands were quantitatively surveyed to identify locations suitable for the establishment of regional marine reserves in Bass Strait. This survey included a re-assessment and further investigation of Rocky Cape and the Kent Group, two locations previously proposed as marine reserves. The Kent Group was identified as the most outstanding location surveyed, with a range of habitats and biota representative of Bass Strait, and including a significant proportion of Peronian species. Biologica11y this location would be the preferred location for a marine reserve in the Peronian influenced region of Tasmania. Rocky Cape was identified as the most biologica11y suitable location on Tasmania's n0l1h coast due to its diverse range of habitats and species abundance. After Rocky Cape, the next two most desirable locations in the Bass Strait region for marine reserves were considered to be Waterhouse Island in n011heast Tasmania and New Year Island off the n011h west coast of King Island. 3 General Introduction The need for improved management of marine resources is gradually being recognised as coastal marine resources decline locally and world-wide.
