-- tawe nunnugah raid 2023 -- Ten days of raiding, 100 nautical miles of Southern Ocean from Recherche Bay to Hobart, Tasmania... to exhibit our boats in the Australian Wooden Boat Festival.
Great review and photos of the truly remarkably well organised event. Thanks to Martin and Deb for getting all the cats herded for this event. Thanks also to all the volunteers who helped keep us well fed, lubricated and safe on the water. Lindsay Trott and Heidi Streiner , Monty crew
Hello Lindsay and Heidi, thanks for the comment! Totally agree with your shouting out for the organizers and volunteers... such a massive undertaking, so well achieved!
Thanks Dale - a great account of the Raid. It was a pleasure having you and Chris as part of the crew.
If Dale’s account inspires you to be part of our next tawe nunnugah Raid in Tasmania in 2025 (tn25) please join our mailing list (follow the link at https://livingboattrust.org.au/expeditions/tawe-nunnugah/). We set a limit on the number of participants so we don’t overload the lovely camp sites and we will be full months in advance. We will send out information on how to secure a place to everyone on the mailing list in July 2025 (or thereabouts). Our Raid differs from many in the northern hemisphere in that it is not a race and the emphasis is on enjoying both the on-water and on-land experiences together as a group. It is fully catered and if you don’t have your own boat in Tasmania you can either join the crew of one of our fleet with an experienced skipper, or, subject to our assessment of your experience, we can lend you a ‘self-drive’ boat. We don’t charge any extra for using our boats – we like to see them being used.

A small but important correction to my earlier comment - we will send out information on how to secure a place to everyone on the tn mailing list in July 2024 (not 2025). The tn25 Raid will start with the Welcome Dinner in Franklin on Tuesday 28 January 2025 and finish on Friday 7 February at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart.....and if that's not enough, we also run a smaller 5-day/4-night 'Return Raid' to get the fleet back to Franklin after the AWBF.

Thank you so much, Martin! As mentioned in the post, I certainly hope we'll be able to join you once again.
