G’day sailors. I hope you are all staying safe and well!
Who’s starting to go a little stir crazy sitting inside? 🙋♀️ If you need a bit of a sailing pick-me-up, don’t forget to log into our online community catch-up with Bret Perry this evening. We had a great chat with a number of you and Lisa Blair last week, which you can view on our facebook page.
Not surprising, more sailing event cancellations have been announced this week, including the 2020 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. One event that is still planning to go ahead for now is Airlie Beach Race Week – check out the article below for more info.
Until next time, stay safe and healthy!
Happy sailing 😊⛵
