Tamariki's Tasman Voyage Hobart to Picton

This is the documentary of Tamariki’s voyage from Hobart Tasmania to Picton New Zealand in May 2019. The film covers cruising parts of Hobart waiting for the weather - for the Tasman crossing only jump to 19min and 15 seconds.

Tamariki is a 45 foot Timber Ketch owned by Peter Mortimer from Auckland New Zealand . She has been cruising the Pacific for a number of seasons.
This last season saw her sailing from NZ to Australia via Vanuatu and New Caledonia, where Peter slowly worked his way down the Eastern coast of Australia to Tasmania, arriving in time for the biannual wooden boat festival and to meet up with Canadian cruising friends Serge and Joanne on the yacht Spirare a 35 foot Souther Cross design yacht.

Now that winter was arriving it was time to return to New Zealand and Peter had invited his son James and me to crew the yacht across the Tasman Sea.

correction added - the tall ship is the locally built 'Lady Nelson' and Cascade Brewery makes ' Cascade Beer' - Coopers is made in South Australia.
