As is wrote "the morning dawned cold and clear", a most welcome change
after the showers of the last two days. I finished the last of my
provisioning, and agonised over what to jettison from my load, before
taking a last wander around the waterfront. The cold start soon became a
warm bright sunny day, a trend that I hope continues.
Here are a few more Hobart scenes.

Alfie enjoys a tete-a-tete with some rather stiffly formal locals... |

Quite a little scene happening here - Diego Bernacchi, Maria Island
entrepreneur, was also an Antarctic explorer and photographer... |

The fishing fleet was a hive of maintenance activity - the season
must be starting soon...Mt Wellington looms in the background. The 22 km
ride to the summit is a challenge I'll postpone to the end of the
tour... |

The basin on the right is Constitution Dock, finishing point for the
Sydney to Hobart yacht race. Try the floating fish shops for a novel
dining experience... |
