Cygnet maritime history presentation
Tess Hallinan writes: 'Attached is the flyer (https://tinyurl.com/y3mvoogx) for the Cygnet Living History Museum's
display of Cygnet's Maritime History by Jean-Louis Boglio at Burton's
Reserve. The Weighbridge Cottage is small and has
limited entry because of Covid requirements, so better time and value
could be had by attending of a Thursday, until Christmas, 10 to 4pm.
This actually coincides beautifully with the CWA's Cake stall next door
in Burton's Cottage.'  |
Another Atkin boat
Gretchen was joined by a 'big sister', John Pollard's 'Louie' on Monday night. John, Piet Lundstedt and crew had used the sea breeze to sail all the way up from Cygnet in time for dinner. Looks like a beautiful boat. John is seeking experienced crew to help him sail her in Tawe Nunnugah.  |
Pip's news
Pip Stevenson recently had a job transporting a super yacht down the NSW coast. Just as well he had gained some experience with us sailing Capricornia - we hope he was able to put it to good use.  |
Visit from the Australian Wooden Boat Festival
Paul Stephanus and his merry people have been out and about, scouting locations for the proposed 'Maritime Trail' weekend in April, and we were on their list. Read all about what they found and thought at https://www.australianwoodenboatfestival.com.au/november-site-visits-awbf-travels-south/  |
Wooden Boat Centre news
Covid isolation has meant that the Wooden Boat Centre has been, well, isolated. But that doesn't mean that they haven't been getting on with it. Those of us who use the dinghy shed have been admiring it's latest occupant Jane de Cray, the restoration of which was recently completed at the Centre, and every so often the wharfside doors are left open to reveal the bow of the Franklin 29 looming like a liner. See below for pictures from the Centre, and attached is a newsletter from the Franklin Working Waterfront Association/WBC: https://tinyurl.com/yxt9wy6b             |
First LBT long table of the season
At last Monday night's BBQ the weather was right, the midgies weren't too ferocious and it was time! We spread out a bit more than in times past in deference to Covid, but the enjoyment was the same.  |
The 'Cadet' sails
For years a Cadet dingy left by Nick Fryer has been sitting over by the stone wall waiting for somebody to take up the challenge of restoring her. Mark Adams was the man for the job, and on Friday those of us on the Monty enjoyed a brief 'sail in company' with him.  |
