Here, There and Everywhere!
A qualifier in Bass Straight, a presence at the Japanese Docklands festival and a feature article in the Herald Sun today.
Tony's partner , Shelley, updates us on the preparation for the big race.
"Tony Warren and Andrew Hibbert have been very busy in the short time since Andy committed to crewing KGTMS to Osaka. They completed their qualifier with a quick spin across the Bass Strait to just off Launceston and back two weeks ago while everyone else was swanning around in Geelong.
Last week but I was laid up in hospital after my ladder decided it wanted to leave the roof I was working on whilst helping Tony and last Tuesday was spent in recovery after having a plate put into my left wrist. They assured me that I won't set off any alarms at the International Airports I will be passing through in 9 & 1/2 weeks.
It is a good thing that Tony didn't stop looking for crew and settle for me. We would be in dire straits. I want to take this opportunity to thank our supporters for all the help thus far and for the help that has been promised. We are on schedule with our plans for the P*SS OFF TONY event and as soon as venue is confirmed we will be pushing forward with enthusiasm. Any volunteers on the day to help with the setup and preparation of food would be greatly appreciated. Call me for any questions on 0439933746. Go HERE to get your ticket.
Door prizes include a 2 for 1 voucher for Dinner at Blue Fig, 7 Shakespeare Grove, St Kilda, Annie Boutrieng has kindly donated a massage, voucher for a Haircut and style at Gado Hair, and a raffle for the Hutchwilco PFDs that were won by Kiss Goodbye at the 2011 Stanley race. .Any support or donations of prizes for the fundraiser are welcome.
As we are technically one very shorthanded (pardon the Pun) crew, Tony and Andrew would be extremely grateful for any able bodied assistance. Kiss Goodbye will be going up on the hardstand at SYC to have her bum scrubbed and anti-fouled and also to have the final survey and other requirements for the race and insurance".
