Melbourne to Port Fairy (M2PF)
The Go-Betweens.
May well have put out a few albums along the way, but it seems we have had a new one helping out the Race Management Team. From the van, Robyn tells us, "Thanks also to Linda Brayton who has been a fantastic go between the club and the finish line. Writing the goss, feeding the team, photos, etc."
Now speaking of club, presentations were at 1400hrs and the Port Fairy Yacht Club has been fantastic. "Commodore Hugh Parker, Immediate Past Commodore Bill Morgan, Sail Captain Daryl Cairns and Club Member Tim have been extremely hospitable and well prepared for the event, planning moorings, sounding the river, arranging catering and welcoming the cold, tired sailors. The eXtasea crew found the carpet under the tables in the club to be the warmest, driest spot for their recovery zzzzzzs. Shame that the boats all arrived after hours, but they were welcomed with the ubiquitous slab of coldies nonetheless."
Beer works anytime, anywhere...
"Thanks also to Port Fairy Sea Rescue who joined with the club boat to pilot the yachts safely uptown. Spirit of Downunder was five minutes late, so had to park on the outer jetty until the tide turned again. Linda feels for the holiday makers who have paid big money for a riverside apartment and are unlucky enough to have Chikara Outlaw parked outside. Apparently they are still in party mode..." Ed. Maybe they wish to join in????
Happily, Independent Endeavour are back at Sandy with four sick crew members and one possible broken shoulder. Cannot wait to hear from those with the SeaBiscuit bands. As we say, well done to all.
So you want to know who went off with the fairies. Go HERE for the full results.
