This Queen’s Birthday long weekend (not that public holidays mean much to us now, since every day is one for retirees) we did our first cruise with the Cruising Yacht Club of Tasmania. It was their regular June long weekend cruise to Kermandie/Franklin on the Huon River.
It was spread over two events, the first a BBQ on Saturday night in Dean Mark’s boatshed at Kermandie and the second on Sunday evening was a three-course meal in the Living Boat Trust’s shed at Franklin and catered for by Trust volunteers.
We have been members of the CYCT for over two years but, with the club being Hobart-centric and us living in NW Tasmania, this is the first time a club cruise has fitted into our always busy schedule when visiting Hobart.
We enjoyed the trip up the Huon River to Franklin and, like a lot of new destinations, we wondered why we had waited so long.
