Wow, what a stay I’ve had with amazing welcomes in each location. Tonnes of interest about the race as well of a huge amount of encouragement.
Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2013
I’ve had phone calls made, lifts offered, appointments made, hugs and congratulations. Even the apartment we stayed in Sydney sent James a bottle of fizz to celebrate our arrival in Hobart. Incredible!

The volunteers in Albany who cooked a welcome breakfast for every arriving crew.
The great scenery, great food and great friends.
I’m coming back, not a chance I will cross the Tasman Sea by boat… there IS a ferry. Never!
The comfort of air travel is extremely appealing, albeit arriving by sea avoids the jet lag.
Thank you Australia, thank you for such a memorable stay.
