The Clipper Race just started its next leg from Albany in south west Australia, and the names Frenchman's Bay and Vancouver now ring familiar. The link between our own waters and these can be found in this fascinating Captain Cook documentary series on youtube, who once visited ABYC in 1760 but we weren't open yet. Cook's charts have been used well into the 20 century. Worth the watch while the boat's on the hard, and let someone else steer.
