Vision Surveys Airlie Beach Race Week!

whitsunday cheersWow!
What an amazing few days at Airlie Beach… so sorry I haven’t been keeping you up to date!
In between all of the sailing with Ichi Ban (zoom!), the travel to North Queensland (wow!), the amazing on location broadcasts (so lucky!), and the little hack of my website (yes thanks to the guys who are being so attentive with their time!), I have had a little bit on!
For those who are not up to speed, I was flown up to North Queensland, first to Hamilton Island (Hammo), to catch a ferry to Airlie Beach to catch the last few days of Vision Surveys Airlie Beach Race Week. As well as broadcasting, I also managed to grab a ride on Ichi Ban, with Matt Allen and his team, which was an amazing opportunity.
We had a bit of breeze on, even meaning I was in full wet weather kit most of the time (in tropical North Queensland I know, I am soft!), and plenty of action both on and off the race course (including a lost boat which took us out of racing for one day, which is another story for another sailor to tell…).

Feeling so lucky to be here in North Queensland, and excited to be heading over to Hamilton Island, for Audi Hamilton Island Race Week… tomorrow!
You should really check out the broadcasts below to see what went down while I was here in Airlie… from interviews, to on board commentary, to the atmosphere at the presentation. Oh, and tune in over the next week to catch all the action from Hammo on here, on Facebook and of course on the radio! So so excited!
