Sailing Around Here Takes Gusts! - Episode 130
Join us this week for a mussel forage and some gusty sailing down Tasmania's east coast. Along the way we visit the amazing and unique Tessellated Pavement at Eaglehawk Neck and cook up some tasty mackerel.
Enjoy lovely patrons!

Lovely. Liked the views of Mirrool from the dinghy almost as much as the headlands and bay.
Just finished the mammoth channel binge. I've absolutely loved it! Tazzie is incredible and very reminiscent of Western Cape, ZA & Oban, Scotland. Beautiful colours, landscape and so wild. Amazing. Beautiful video and so good to see the progress. Hope you guys are well and the refit on course.
Cheers legend it's certainly a beautiful place we look forward to sharing more of it with you guys over the coming weeks before we get stuck into refit videos 馃榿
Quick question, have you'se set up an Amazon wishlist?, many sailing channels I watch have done this, its a way for patrons or whoever to purchase items that would be of use to you'se, here is a link that sets out the process, only issue would be postal address but I am sure you can have the items shipped to family members who would pass them on to your current location.., https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_897204_createlist?nodeId=501088
It's a great idea but a bit tricky because we're always moving around! Also we recently removed all our affiliate links with Amazon because we don't want to support the company and its ethos preferring to source the items we need from local businesses.
Another fine cinema experience!. From a ways out that coast reminded me of sailing along the island of Maui. Up close though, its another world! Thanks for the giggles Pascale, its been an annoying couple of days and you can always make me smile :-)
You're welcome Tim. Laughter is the best medicine! Pascale
Wow, that bay at the end.... They've released the Sailing ban here in the UK.... Next stop Taz! *Dreams*
You're free at last! Getting people out into fresh air and sunlight has to be a step in the right direction!
What an honor it is to be a patron and support this great channel.
We feel honoured that so many of you continue to support us and it really encourages us to improve our film-making in return.
The chemophobia is getting a little old. Zinc is a chemical, everything is a chemical.
Would you prefer a nice glass of H2O or H2O2? We were making the point that we try to limit our use of sunscreen because we are unsure about the long term effects of daily application, over years, of a material that absorbs into our skin. When we do apply a sunscreen, we use zinc creme as it stays at the surface but our preference is a physical barrier.
Loved this. Great cruising ground. Not too many boats 馃ぃ
Those Wombats have right of way every time but they rarely pass properly down our port side!
Another good one guys. How did the Jack Mackerel taste?
We love them and Blue Mackerel. Cooked with crispy skin, they are our favourite fish here. Once smoked, they are very versatile additions to many recipes and the pickled version goes great with cheese.
Related to a fish the South Aussies call a "Tommy Ruff " I think ?
Tommy ruff are Australian Herring, smaller relatives of Australian Salmon. These little Mackerel are Carangids which puts them in the same family as Trevally and Scad. Other mackerel we catch here are related to Spanish Mackerel, just not getting to 30kg!
Haha! Good cheese and sailing gear ... what more could a man need!
Having a clear set of priorities is important in these confusing times!
Jack mackerel are prized on our table here in NZ. To be more accurate, a beach BBQ.
The finest table around!
Wonderful, as always! We caught a lot of Jack Mackerel back in my youth off of San Diego while fishing for other things. We either used them for bait or threw them back. I'll bet they'd be great smoked! Dad would typically use them as bait for yellow fin tuna... Enjoyed the sailing, especially. The lake conditions here are very often gusty with drastic direction changes. A couple of scares in my dory made me a believer in conservative reefing on those days. Yet to see how my new old boat reacts., but I'll likely remain cautious.
There are also other aggressive little mackerel called Blue Mackerel that are exceptional food fish and easy to catch. Both as you say are wonderful smoked and pickled- we still have some! I think remaining cautious is a good move as sometimes the decision to become cautious can come too late.
As always awesome!! Thanks
As always, you're very welcome!
Beautiful!
Stunning video ... and those mackerel look so tasty 馃構
They are our favourite fish down here. The oily texture is a lot like wild Atlantic salmon but with a flavour all their own. #food_not_bait!
