Ep. 9 - DINGHY CAMP CRUISING THE PIEMAN RIVER, TASMANIA (in a Welsford Navigator)

Can the Navigator survive a bone-crunching 5 hour drive up the West Coast of Tasmania? Does Jo prove that a Hobie Lynx can conquer the Pieman River? Can Mat bring home an Abalone and what will Jo do if he doesn't? Where do trees go to die and do Wombats eat humans? All this and more will be revealed in this very 'special' cruise up the magnificent Pieman River.

    Yep, some do that...but if you can chill the abalone down slowly it kills them before they go tuff. Like anesthetising the fish, rather than shocking it quickly.

    I haven't done any river sailing, so I'd like to ask some silly questions. If I am sailing South in a current of 5 knots (its a wide fast river) and the wind is blowing South at 10 knots. Will I get my normal speed in 10 knots of wind? i.e. if I normally sail 5 knots in 10 knots of wind, will I now get 10 knots with current? What if the wind is on the beam and at a right angle to the water flow? If there is no wind at all will I have steerage going downriver?
