Hobart
Tasmania, Australia 42º52’85″S 147º19’73″E
Enfin me voila de retour a Sydney, oh que c’est bon, j’aime tellement cette ville surtout en ces derniers jours d’été.
Donc une bonne chose de faite dans ma vie, le tour de la Tasmanie, après la plus longue Sydney Hobart jamais effectué, il est vrai je n’étais pas vraiment dans la course…
A la suite de ces dix jours d’escale a Hobart dans ce petit port de pêche du bout du monde entre neige et soleil, Les gens ici disent, si tu n’aimes pas le temps a Hobart attends cinq minutes… Nous sommes repartis pour la fin de notre tour Tasmanien, passage Sud Est, la cote Est et enfin le reste de la partie Nord, navigation entre contraste météo et un formidable mélange géographique, entre aridité, plage immaculée et brutalité rocheuse la tournée se déroule sans aucun problème, puis enfin destination plein Nord, re-passage du Detroit de Bass, adieu les quarantièmes rugissants et bonjour températures clémentes ainsi que sont flot de lumières estivales, Après une bonne provision d’air pur et d’embruns et les vertus stimulantes des épreuves océanes maintenant La croisière se repose.
Aaaaah!! Sydney.
