Port Davey, Tasmania

2010-02-19T22:52:00.001+11:00

As the plane made its final approach parallel to Melaleuca Inlet deep in the south west of Tasmania my American friends were steering the same course below us in their dinghy to meet me. By the time I had unloaded my gear from the plane and made my way to the small jetty they were motoring towards me waving a warm welcome. I held aloft the box of wine they asked me to bring. I didn't realise Americans call a cask of wine a box. I had 12 bottles in my box!

We made our way 5 miles back down the inlet to where Maamalni, a 52' cutter rig sloop lay at anchor. A perfect start to a week cruising Tasmania's rugged West coast. Michael and Suzan have sailed 23,000 miles from Seattle to Alaska and then South America before sailing across the Pacific to Tasmania, Australia.

The week that followed was full of laughter and fun as we slowly made our way northward along the coast with beautiful weather and fair winds to Macquarie Harbour.

Bass Strait

2010-01-27T08:56:00.001+11:00

Calmly and quietly I contemplated that maybe we might not make it through the night. Sailing from the north east corner of Tasmania to Port Phillip Bay, Victoria The forecast 20 knot southerly was steadily building to a 40 knot westerly gale. With 20 knots from the south it would have been a fast passage. Forty knots from the west was a different creature altogether. Wind like that pushes the sea into frenzied heaps. The tops tumble from them as they become steeper.

After 10 hours of fighting the rudder and fighting off tinges of sea sickness, exhausted, we decided to run off ahead of the wind. The prospect of shelter behind an island some 50 miles to the east is momentarily heartening. Hopefully it will also be an easier direction to sail. It was fast and we made better progress but it was a roller coaster ride up and down towering and tumbling waves.

Six hours later, near midnight, we approached a looming dark mass. There was no moon and it was dark. Very dark. Distance becomes hard to judge. We are rapidly approaching dark cliffs trying to find a narrow passage between them to shelter.

Our safe haven has proven to be a cauldron. We entered the passage only to find a racing tide pushing the waves up even higher. The wind was funneling up the passage against the tide and producing a fearful combination. With scant navigational aids my iPhone came to the rescue. Loaded with navigational charts its GPS capability guided us to a safe anchorage in a deep cove on the northern side of the island.

Cradle Mountain Exhibition

2009-11-14T10:23:00.001+11:00

We've hired a van and it is now packed full of framed prints ready to drive to Cradle Mountain for my latest exhibition.

This show is titled 'Sussurations' and is themed around the mystery and beauty of Tasmania as it may have been viewed by early settlers.

The Tasmanian Wilderness Gallery has allocated me 3 rooms of their magnificent space and this will be my largest show ever.

It has been a wonderful week in excellent company at an outstanding gallery.

Crown Series Regatta 2009

2009-02-26T10:24:00.001+11:00

Last weekend Bellerive Yacht Club once again hosted the Crown Series Regatta. A fleet of 230 yachts ranging through centreboard dinghies, skiffs, catamarans and keelboats contested the highly successful regatta in perfect summer conditions on the Derwent River.

My involvement was to produce 60 framed prints as prizes for the winners and placegetters. It is always exciting photographing yachts and despite the gloomy weather on Friday evening and mirror like conditions on Saturday morning there were still plenty of great photos to be taken. A stiff sea breeze in the afternoon provided more excitement.

The challenge was to obtain good quality pictures of every competitor and to then sort, print and frame the 60 best performers within 2 hours of the final race results being posted. Yep, it was impossible! I managed to do it 2 years ago with a smaller fleet but time was against me this year. Another hour and they were completed but an hour too late, the prize giving was over.

Nonetheless, I am happy with the result and feel I have produced some good memories of a great event. Next year we will rethink our approach and the amount of manpower required.

New Web Page

2009-02-09T21:15:00.000+11:00

Please visit ianjeanneret.com to see the changes I have made to my website.

My Stray Dog Photos website (www.straydogphotos.com) has been updated and now become www.ianjeanneret.com. Stray Dog Photos has been fun and is certainly easier to remember and spell than Jeanneret but seeing as I sign my photos with my own name it seems logical to have a website using that name. I still trade as Stray Dog Photos and will continue to sell Hahnemuehle and Magiclee papers from that business.

By the way can anyone see the sea goddess in the photo above?
