Kettering

Snow on the mountains, strong, cold SW winds and long underwear. That's Tasmania in the Winter! There are occasional fine days though and these are great for short cruises "down the Channel" to protected anchorages like Port Huon and the cosy pub at Kermandie with it's roaring fireplace and convivial company. That's where I was recently but our thoughts are focussed on our upcoming trip to Europe. In a few days time, we'll fly to the US west coast for 2 weeks then across the top to Holland where we will pick up our canal barge to live aboard for 3 months. No lumpy seas or hopefully any snow there, so we are looking forward to the change. With some luck I should be able to post a few pictures of life aboard a different craft while illywhacker stays curled up in her berth at Kettering.
