EP 6 SAILING IN TASMANIA - St Helens Treacherous Entry
January 30, 2019 by Catamaran Impi | Language: EN Play Time: 00:22:59 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
IMPI is sailing the world (Some 7 years full time now) – and in this series we are sailing in Tasmania – located in the Roaring 40’s.
St Helens is a small and quaint little town but getting in there by boat can be treacherous. A number of boats have come to grief here but the local VMR (Volunteer Marine Rescue) authority offers a helping hand in the form of a ‘follow me boat’. Of course this begins with a radio message saying they take no responsibility which is fair enough, but hearing all the stories of bats seeing out their last days here makes one ‘sit up straight’.
We love engaging with our social media friends and we share some moments with local Australians we met through social media. Of course all this goes a long way in terms of networking and a lot of fun can be had.
We cover some aspects of the weather we were facing and how we look at weather in order to plan a safe passage.
We use satellite technology so we understand the lay out of the land if something should go wrong .. a back up plan is always great to have.
I also want to thank the amazing Musicians who have permitted us to use their ‘cool’ music – thank you guys … links to follow below.
Norman and Pip are Australian sailors who have sailed extensively up and down the coast of Australia and have a great understanding of bar crossings – we share a video where Norm says ‘he was caught out’ by some sudden swells.

We are about INSPIRATION AND POSITIVE VIBES and much of what we do and share is about YOU, the viewers - OUR MISSION to interact with you all and make ourselves available to assist you as you make your dream become reality. We share beautiful places, beautiful people, our lifestyle and of course, for sailors, ANIMAL WELFARE, we share a ton of sailing experiences the world over, and we drop tips into many of our videos showing how we read weather at sea,how we navigate safely, how we maintain our boat and more.
