font-family:Arial'>Hi All, welcome back to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Canberra</st1:place></st1:City> after a fine weekend in Tuross!
We had about 40 members from both the ANUSC and the Mountaineering club down for
a very relaxed and enjoyable couple of days of sailing, windsurfing, surfing
and kayaking. We returned with all our boats intact and, I’m fairly
sure, everyone with whom we left.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Now’s our chance to do it all over again at the
Bateman’s Bay regatta over the Anzac day long weekend in two weeks’
time. With a greater emphasis on time on the water and the chance to
learn some racing skills, this weekend will be a good chance both for beginners
and more experienced members to discover just how much fun regattas can be.
For those interested in racing, emails are currently being circulated by
members getting crews together to race the club Sharpies.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The weekend’s activities will not, however, be limited
to racing. Just as we did at Tuross, boats will be brought along so that
members can get out on the water for a sail. The waters around Bateman’s
are gorgeous and offer a different sailing experience certainly from <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Lake</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">BG</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
and also Tuross. We in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canberra</st1:place></st1:City>
are so fortunate to live near one of the most beautiful coastlines I have seen.
Come along with us for a sail; it’s the best way to experience this
place.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Let me know soon if you are interested in coming
along. The trip is less than two weeks away, so we’ll have to work
out numbers, travel and camping arrangements promptly. We’ll have a
meeting for all those coming next Wednesday down at the boat shed, when we can
also load up the boats on trailers. I’m especially keen to hear
from people who are able to tow trailers down and back; extra gold stars for
these good people. As with the Tuross trip, we’ll work out payment
for camping, travel and food at our meeting prior to the weekend. I’ll
let you know in plenty of time what the cost of it all will be. As an
indication, Tuross was $50 which petrol costs for our drivers, bits of ground
for tents and dinner on Saturday night. Very cheap for the fine time we
all had.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
