Hello from Algimouss Spirit of Canada

Position  43.55.896S x 146.11.224E
Distance to Hobart; Approx. 100 miles

I've just made landfall on Maatsuyker Island, one of the outer islands on the south coast of Tasmania. I have to round South East Cape and Bruny Island before heading up Storm Bay to Hobart. The landfall here has been a bit nervewracking as yesterday my GPS started operating sporatically and I have been expecting it to go down. I switched to the back up GPS only find it wasn't working as well. My backup to the backup is a handheld GPS mounted in the window. It's working fine and gives me a position which I then plot on the chart. Now that I've made landfall I feel much better. It will be a long night of motoring up Storm Bay but I am looking forward to getting ashore.

More soon. Take Care
