The
committee met on January 6th and made the decision to alter the format
for this year’s Tawe Nunnugah to broaden its appeal. The major change
is that there are now NO FEES - the cost is only $25 per day to cover
common organisational expenses. This is based on participants being
largely self sufficient. You still get to do all the important stuff -
cruising the beautiful inshore waters of the Huon and the D'Entrecasteaux
Channel in good company (both on and off the water), but you will have
to throw your own snag on the barby in the evening.Here, in summary, is the new plan.
The event is now a ‘cruise in company’ for a duration of five days - four days in passage and one at the Wooden Boat Rally. The schedule, subject to conditions, is as follows. Cast off from the LBT pontoon on Friday 7th 0700 Stay at Randalls Bay that night Depart Randalls Saturday 8th at 0700 Stay at Kettering or Gordon that night depending on conditions At Kettering for Wooden Boat Rally Sunday 9th Depart Kettering 7am Monday 10th Spend night at Randalls Tuesday 11th to Franklin
Participants will be expected to be self sufficient in all respects. Participants will be expected to contribute $25 per day to cover common organisational expenses. There are no fees. Those bringing their own boats to participate in the Wooden Boat Rally will need to register: cost $25. See http://bit.ly/1cyPdmc
for the entry form and conditions. Boats not participating will need
to organise their own anchorage or other accommodation at Kettering. All
participants must be financial members of the Living Boat Trust. Those
who wish to be involved but who are not currently members will need to
join up. See the details for doing this at http://bit.ly/1cyTzK6 There
will be safety boats and minimal land based transport and support,
subject to some of the event participants making themselves available to
crew these operations. There will be no catering provided.
The land transport will consist of a utility towing the food trailer,
which can be refrigerated when there is power. BBQ’s and a small
marquee with extension tarp will be carried on the ute and trailer.
There will be space for a medium esky for each person, plus a SMALL
amount of general luggage.
