Good Evening All,
The Sail day report for FB-Perth
Sunday 15th at Jackadderlake - weather was sensational very little breeze, sun shining. Jackadder at the moment is suffering some serious weed.
Skippers in attendance Serge (me) with HMS Ardent
Glen H with HMS Hermes, Rob R with HMAS Melbourne FFG & USS Roosevelt, Andrew K with HNLMS Tromp, Nige R and Graeme W with HMAS Toowoomba, also in attendance without ships were Peter P, John and Bob G, who shared coffee, tea and good conversation.
We also had Gerard B visit who contacted us through the T72 website, Gerard is prospective club member, he spoke at length with Peter P in regards submarines, hopefully we will see Gerard in the future.
The sailing mission is - well sailing, something we achieved , very few dramas just weed wrapped around running gear, mind you Rob with rake in hand did some serious raking of the anchorage, not sure how much sailing he did do.
Andrew's Tromp looks complete and it is a sensational model, Hermes will look great when she is completed and Rob dusted off HMAS Melbourne.
I just purchased a FFG Hull from Tim A so we will have a squadron of FFG's here in the west in the next few years to join Darwin and the Melbourne
cheers
Hope you enjoy the photos
Serge
