CURRENT POSITION
Onboard ‘Fair Dinkum’
Townsville – Dunk Island - Cairns – Cape Tribulation - Queensland.
The Skipper celebrated his 64th at last!!!! BIRTHDAY IN CAIRNS – now truly and ‘old salt’.
Special Announcement: Exciting news about ‘Cameo Crew’ guests on ‘Fair Dinkum’ Jodi Ryan & Aaron Neary. Aaron managed to achieve the ultimate surprise for ‘Jodi’ with a 16mtr. deepwater proposal off Hamilton Island (the ultimate private affair)…this news via a very excited ‘Gerrard the Gent’. ….Jodi left her cameras in Melbourne – so we are waiting for the ‘disposable camera’ shots.
-CONGRATULATIONS FROM US ALL TO JODI & AARON-
Skipper and crew have experienced some swift sailing up the coast of Queensland to Cairns, passing through many anchorages.
The skipper had a meeting in Townsville with ‘Macca’ who continues to give great support via his radio program and there is continuing support from local radio, tv, and other media.
‘Fair Dinkum’ continues to experience great support for fundraising and has experienced generosity from many. The Barracuda Bar in Airlie Beach during a Sunday arvo jam session.
Dallas rejoined ‘Fair Dinkum’ in Cairns and is working hard onboard again.
Words from Gerr..ard the Gent.
“Did you know that our crewman Rob during one of his physical challenges around Australia as the ‘Desert Sailor’, ran via road from Melbourne to Cairns three years ago. The most extraordinary thing is that Rob managed to do this in 3 months, IT HAS TAKEN ‘Fair Dinkum’ 4 MONTHS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME, VIA SEA.”
Quote of the Week is an old Norwegian addage –
" There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes."
Next Blog will have a special interview section with a very special person….watch for it….

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'.
