The bay at the mouth of the Mersey River in Devonport as it leads up to the Mersey Bluff is often very idilic and calm. Yet move out to open waters and the full force of winds through Bass Straight come to the fore. Sailors that know these waters and the craggy headland can take optimal advantage of these conditions to push their craft through the waters using nothing but the force of nature. The view across the cliff face and the orange highlights of lichen agains the blue of salt water, together with the native shrub and tree life rising from the shore is simply invigorating and uplifting.
