Proceeding south, Tasman skirts the southern end of Tasmania and turns northeast, now trying to work his two ships into Adventure Bay on the east coast of South Bruny Island where he is blown out to sea by a storm; this area he names Storm Bay.
Tasman anchors two days later to the North of Cape Frederick Hendrick just north of the Forestier Peninsula.
