You may have seen the flurry of excitement
from many tourists & locals over the past month, when they realised their
good fortune at being able to take themselves afloat in a little Grebe from our
fascinating fleet.
A few hearty LBT
volunteers set up a couple of Grebes each day to entice passers-by to enjoy a
unique experience upon our wonderful waterways, which naturally they raved
about - as do we
Our collective
thanks go to the Tues & Thurs men for keeping our little craft maintained
so well & equipment at the ready
It was indeed an
impressive effort from all who assisted in initiating & deliberating to get
business plans & operations approvals through the bureaucracy of MAST &
AMSA .... plus figure out how to arrange insurance .... & then quickly amass
a working party to begin a month’s business trial
We collected
revenue of $442 in $10 instalments - to be equally divided between the LBT –
the WBC – & the FWBA, which is a trickle fund for the building of Adrian
Dean’s Schooner
A worthwhile
exercise to see how to proceed in creating the business of coastal expeditions
& courses ,,, & whatever anyone can dream up, to both gather momentum
for the Schooner Project and enhance visibility of Franklin’s Working
Waterfront.
Anyone is very
welcome to become involved during the Winter’s planning – anticipating being
set for relaunch when daylight saving begins.
