That wasn't a bad Queen's birthday weekend cruise, was it? We lost count how many of us there were at the Barbeque (or on the Ambulance, for that matter). Great company and great music from the "Lana Nesnas Ensemble" The weekend's photo album (see the middle column) and slideshow are now up.
What a wonderful weekend it was! The weather was kind, the company great as ever and the excursion to Cockatoo Island very interesting. Along the way, we celebrated Val's birthday and Marius fell through a Marina this time...The beginnings of the latest photo-album are here. Please email your favourite Easter photo(s) to Marius for inclusion.
How many cruisers does it take to sink a Catamaran?
More than at Jerusalem Bay this weekend.

Last Monday I went down to check on Legless. As I was climbing through the pushpit fence I saw some movement behind the starboard wheel. There on the floor with its head up behind the instrument panel was a snake about 1m long. I went to get something with which to catch it but when I returned It had disappeared which left me not knowing whether it was in the yacht or not. A bit disconcerting! I told Jackie at the club about it and on Thursday I received a telephone call from the club saying they had caught it.
Legless is an apt name after all.
The room was full for expectation for the official presentation of the 2008 Cruising Awards. The equivalent of the Oscars at the RPAYC.
Despite valiant attempts by other to draw attention to themselves by falling of their boats and dressing up with false beards. The award went to the right place....
