This is Part 2 of 2 episodes dedicated to our 6 day cruise up the World Heritage Gordon River in our Com-Pac Eclipse 'Elixir'.
In this episode we take our Hobie Lynx & Kokopelli Lite Kayak for a paddle up to the mighty Franklin River. We leave Sir Johns Falls and sail towards Sarah Island.

What a great advert for the Tassie wilderness. I’m so glad our predecessors saved this beautiful space. Great video

Thankyou for such a wonderful holiday for the both of you to share, I truly had the best time, and now my day's are spent dreaming of doing the same adventure. Thanks you are a great example of a marriage of success, and even better team.

Thank you both for taking us with you. Some of those shots of the Gordon in the morning were other-worldly. Great videography!

A beautiful serene part of the world... thanks for taking us along! Just finished reading "The ship that never was" about convicts in Tasmania, so it was great timing... to see the harbour, Sarah Island and the river helped get a sense of the life they led and the harbour they escaped from.

That weather forecast sounded like it came from the 1940's😂

Awesome area, I have only paddled the Gordon below Franklin in a sea kayak. Love to do it again in a sailing dingy or trailer sailer.

That’s a great video Matt thanks for posting that I hope to join you on the water sometime, so I couldn’t get down to Lake Pedder still in Project mode with Sarah and then out for three or four sales, and now I’m troubleshooting stuff like a licking stern gland which tested me to my limits today

Great video! Is there any mobile or VHF coverage in the area please? I see you were using a shortwave radio to receive your weather. I bet there were some aching arms after the Franklin paddle Mat (and maybe legs, Jo!)

Thanks mate. No VHF and certainly no mobile coverage. SW is your only option.
