Devils Elbow

We've started our trip upstream. An hour and a half sail upstream of Beauty Point, past the port and the woodchip piles, we find ourselves anchored in the promising - sounding "Devils Elbow". Absolutely beautiful. 

Passing Port Dalrymple. I'm guessing this is a woodchip berth...

Anchored at Devils Elbow

We walked for an hour yesterday afternoon and visited "Goaty Hill" vineyard, who do some (expensive) wines exactly the way we like them and a very nice cheese platter. We were dropped back to the boat by one of the vineyard owners!

A cricket we found on the way to the vineyard.

Today looks like it will be another cracker. We need to wait a couple of hours to catch the tide upstream through "whirlpool reach" and another couple of hours to our next anchorage. Hopefully in Launceston on Sunday.

Not a bad spot to be buried. Above Devils Elbow looking back down Moriarty Reach.

Enjoy your weekend, wherever you are.
