Preparing Finesse for departure







Preparations are well underway for our departure from Hillarys Boat Harbour.






Our intended date of departure is now Saturday 4th April, and we will send an email to all our contacts giving exact time and location for those of you who are interested in waving us goodbye.






We have attached a couple of photos of Finesse Fremantle whilst she was on the hard stand at Hillarys a few weeks ago undergoing preparations for the big trip.






As most of you are aware, we intend sailing south accross the bight to Port Lincoln, before heading to Tasmania. Charlie Strickland, an old friend of Ron's will be sailing with us as far as Port Lincoln. Having Chas on board will benefit us because of his sailing skills and the extra pair of eyes needed for watch on the night sails will be most welcome.
