There may not have been many exciting photos to share,
but the work behind the scenes continues in preparation for Halifax.
- Training finished
- Flights booked
- The scud on it's way
- The Raffle drawn
- Coach boat in Halifax- Booked
We had left our crew , Peter and Rachael, training on the uncertain waters of Moreton Bay
always smiling ....
enjoying a few beautiful sunsets
some frustrating wind free drifting...
and the ignominy of getting the sails wet!
However the final days were windy and busy
Pete and Rachael dealt with some 23 knot bullets,
a few issues with the gear threw a spanner in the works..
They stayed the distance of five hours non stop...
.... and still flew a kite home...
.. and Ray kept the running repairs going .. while Yve donated a hairdryer!
Finally at the end of the week,
We got our "good luck" Rainbow..
Ray and Pete went off for some other "fun " sport
The boat was packed, stickers arrived,
.. and Graeme and Ray took off on a delivery trip to Sydney
Where the container was loaded .. and away to Halifax went the Scud..
since then,
Flights have been booked....Thanks to Paul Cotto at Flight Centre, who is a remarkably patient man...
Congratulations to the winners of the raffle :
1st Prize : Mr Graham Furtado
2nd Prize: Mr Craig Mathie
3rd Prize: Mr Brad Church.
Thankyou to everyone who bought a ticket to support the cause and help Peter on the way to Halifax.
