Squadron Cruise 2001 |
The Week after Easter, the second week of the NSW School
Holidays saw 26 vessels
cruise and race in company from Sydney to Pittwater and return.
Races were conducted on five of the six intervening days, with the middle, ANZAC
day being a dedicated rest day.
At night vessels moored in different secluded locations free from the trappings
of the
working world with the exceptions of the two nights where we were hosted by
yacht
clubs who provided both hot showers and delicious food.
A truly enjoyable week which is highly recommended to racing and cruising folk alike.
Day
One
The Start was delayed and twice moved closer to the finish, and the Beach BBQ held at Halletts Beach.
