Wooden Boat Festival

We spent a lovely weekend in Hobart at the beginning of February and went to the Wooden Boat Festival.  We watched a play called the "Hell Ship" at the Peacock Theatre and went for a lunch time cruise on the tall ship "Soren Larsen", plus all the other entertainment around Salamanca.  We had a wonderful time catching up with friends, eating, drinking and chatting.  Great time.

Rainy Tuesday

We are hoping that all the rainy weather is done and gone before we head off on holidays next week.  It's a very wintery spring day toda...
