The boat's full complement, Gerry, Dal and Rob spent the weekend on board. Gerry's list of 'things to do' was reduced to 26. Dal will require 8 inches surgically removed from each leg before he can earnestly call his bunk a bed.
Rob slept in his van, trying to pass it off as revisiting his Qld. run!
Although Gerry had moments of disapproval of the crew, these were short lived and considered the weekend a success.
Gerry Ryan of Melbourne has always been a 'doer'. Many years ago he had a goal of building his own boat and setting off onto the high seas. Over a period of many years he built his first boat, aptly named 'Avarest'. Not having any formal training in boat building, let alone sailing didn't hold him back. Gerry applied himself to the challenge and went on to complete several impressive trips along the east coast of Australia with his family and friends. After eventually parting ways with 'Avarest', he purchased 'Fair Dinkum'.
