Hells Gates and Strahan

Well, its well named...  Transit through Hells Gates at 1630, and understand that its well named.  I nearly missed it by having to go for a nervous pee.  What a hairy thing, all strong currents &tidal flows, cross winds, channels and shallow areas, none of which are visible due to the dark peat-stained waters (out of the Gordon River), even when only 6 inchs deep.
However, we are now tied up nicely in Strahan, a lovely place with lots of tourism and things to do.  Plan to investigate some over the next few days.  Stand by for more
