Very calm

This is as it says a calm river cruise. Tea, coffee, fruit and biscuits on board were good. We found the trip a bit slow and would have liked a bit more commentary about the area. Unfortunately not much wind for the sail the day we went.

Huon River Sail

A truly amazing time was had. The weather was very calm (a little too calm for sailing,but what can you do about that...lol) Hosts were fantastic, even including us in the sailing process. I wld recommend this to anyone...those who love to sail, as well as those who have never sailed before.
