My first thought was how did I miss a "Chronicles" to Tasmania! So I searched and I found the report:

And then as I scrolled down and saw some of the photos, I realized that I had, in fact, seen/read your wonferful trip summary. In particular I remember the burned area photos. And then I saw that I actually posted a few comments...
But I don't remember seeing all the sailing photos, and then it hit me that this was written in the very first month of covid--at least the first that affected me personally as our college shut down: March, 2020. We shut down for 2 weeks trying to move all our courses from a traditional face-to-face format to an online format where teaching was done via zoom. Crazy times...I never worked so hard and so long in my life and I think that's why I don't remember the sailing part of your trip--too absorbed in a "new reality". Very strange month as all three of my immediate loved ones were trying to make it back Stateside, wife was in Costa Rica, my son was actually in Australia and daughter was in Mexico, all wondering how to get back home and they all had to change their travel plans. And here we are, 5.5 years later and covid is...much less than before.
It's also interesting to read something from 5 years ago and come across a few forum names that I haven't seen in a long time.
