After a fairly uneventful overnight passage from Strahan, we made our way through the Hunter Passage to anchor at Hunter Island, one of the group of islands at the north west tip of Tassie. We were lucky to have got some good advice from our Strahan friend, Tony, regarding the optimal state of the tide at which to traverse Hunter Passage. We timed our arrival so that we had the tidal current in our favour and were we ever glad that we did as the current added 3-4 kts to our boat speed. It would have been very difficult, and a bit dangerous in some past of the passage, to have been pushing against that tidal flow. Hunter Island is typical of all the Bass Strait islands we have seen - lovely sandy beach, green trees, and rocky headland shattered with the orange colour. As the sun set, and we enjoyed our glass of wine and favourite crusinig music, we were very sad that this was our last anchorage and port of call.
