The day started off with perfect weather for an ocean voyage, with sunny skies and a projected following breeze and 2 metres of swell. The goal was to travel to Southport, a distance of around 12 nautical miles. Breakfast was eaten quickly, lunches were packed, and the group received a briefing before heading to the boats. The team also made sure to pack up all of their camping gear before setting off.
The journey they were embarking on was the Tawe Nunnugah Raid 2023, which involved ten days of sailing a distance of 100 nautical miles in the Southern Ocean – from Recherché Bay to Hobart. The final destination was the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, where they planned to exhibit their boats.
