Silver Fern is tucked away in one of the most incredible places I’ve ever seen, Bathurst Bay on the Southwest corner of Tasmania. 😍

We arrived early Wednesday morning after an overnight passage from Recherche Bay. We all ventured to shore to have a picnic on a tiny little beach by our anchorage on Wednesday afternoon, then spent the rest of the day basking in the sun and resting up before the big night sail.

We departed just before sunset, and as we were reaching the Southeast cape we were greeted by two whales, (we’re thinking they were likely to be humpbacks) breaching and waving to us!

Last stop in Tassie! ⛵️⁠

We have had the best couple of nights in Southport waiting for our opportunity to head West. Silver Fern crew left our anchorage off North Bruny Island on Sunday morning, using the day's sail South as an opportunity to fit in some sail training in stronger winds and flat water. ⁠

Tasmania is no easy place to learn to sail a boat as technical as Silver Fern, but our crew was handling the boat like pros in no time! ⁠

First stop: Bruny! ⛵️⁠

And just like that, another voyage is underway on Silver Fern! ⁠

Our crew arrived on Friday afternoon to the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania to settle into their new home for the next two weeks. We dove right into introductions and safety briefs, had a lovely first dinner onboard and even paid a visit up to the yacht club for a quick night cap. ⁠

New expedition 🌴⁠

Yasawa Island Group, Fiji Discovery Cruise (9 Days)⁠
24 May - 1 June 2025

The majestic Yasawa Islands group lies northwest of the main island of Viti Levu in Fiji and stretches 62nm into the South Pacific Ocean. Their remoteness, white sand beaches, clear blue lagoons and unique terrain, makes this remote, rugged and authentic group of 20 ancient islands, one of the most stunning regions of Fiji. Fortunately because of this remoteness to the mainland, commercial development has never taken hold.⁠

We’ll island hop our way through the archipelago to standout spots like the awe-inspiring Sawa-i-Lau caves, swim with mesmerising mantas and discover delightful underwater coral gardens. There are secret beaches to discover, deserted bays to snorkel and scenic lookouts where you can watch the sun slip into the sea.⁠

''I had done a lot of racing and coastal sailing, but not for a good few years. I wanted a different experience to sail off shore to see what it was like. The trip out to Elizabeth Reef and Lord Howe island and down to Hobart was a 14 day expedition opportunity not to be missed. ⛵️

Why did I do it - I wanted to test myself and get to remote locations by boat that few people would have been to (Elizabeth Reef). I wanted to see Lord Howe Island (and will be back but in a plane). I wanted to see what 4 days and nights continuously at sea would be like with no stops and no way to get off. I have done all these things now.''

"This is what we came for!" 😍⁠

We love hearing our crew say this, and it’s always a pleasure when conditions make for incredible sailing.⁠

With the added speed, however, keeping things clean becomes a bit more challenging. 😜

The Silver Fern crew crossed the Bass Strait. ⛵️

The Bass Strait separates Tasmania from the Australian mainland and has a notorious reputation as one of the most treacherous bodies of water in the world. 🫣

Luckily for the Silver Fern crew, we timed our passage just right and enjoyed some glamorous sailing conditions instead!
