Fair Dinkum and the crew had a shakeout cruise to Geelong on the weekend. All went well.
Time is now on the wing. Hope to see you at the boat on Good Friday for a farewell drink.

The Purpose Of The Voyage
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'.This boat needed a lot of work... Gerry basically rebuilt 'Fair Dinkum' from the bottom up, doing a complete fit out and preparing it for his life long dream of sailing around Australia. Now, as he prepares for the trip of his lifetime, several of his friends and family prepare to join him for parts of the journey, to show their support and to help him realise his dream.
'Fair Dinkum' Sailing Around Australia is rasing money for the National Stroke Foundation. A charity which is close to Gerry's heart because he too suffered the effects of a stroke only a few years ago. The lives of other members of Gerry's family and friends have also be affected by this devastating condition.
Help Captain Ryan and his 'unlikely' crew reach their goal of raising $300,000 for this very worthy cause.. DONATE HERE
