Matthew, Nick and Ross follow the route taken by Englishman Tobias Furneaux as he charted the east coast of Tasmania in 1773, having embarrassingly lost sight of his commanding officer, James Cook. Sailing skills are put to the test as Solquest attempts a treacherous bar-crossing at St Helens – the same route taken by thousands of Chinese as they flocked here in the 1800s in search of grey gold.
