 CYCA Rendezvous Cruise to Hobart in 2012/3 summer
 | | Wineglass Bay: Hobart 2013 Rendezvous Cruise - idyllic cruising in the summer .. . |
It's good to see that members of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, best known outside Sydney circles for its sometimes grueling Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, are starting to validate the name of their club by indulging in some serious cruising.
Just announced is the Third Rendezvous Cruise to Hobart, not this summer, but next. Time to start planning, cruisers. It's idyllic sailing in Tasmania in the summer, and the company will be excellent (Register early - the numbers will be limited).
In sadder news, read how in New Zealand they are still battling the tragic oil spill in the Bay of Plenty, with thousands of the wildlife already dead, and there's a heads-up for Australia in the damning US Department of Energy just released report into E15.
Greenpeace is set to go sailing new missions with the launch of Rainbow Warrior III, and China is really getting into the action with an amazing Dubai-style project designed to get the Chinese sailing.
Paul and Rachel Chandler, retrieved pirate hostages, are in the news again as they claim that the British Police, not the Foreign Office should have been called when they were kidnapped.
The bad news of the week for cruising sailors is the knowledge that there are still hard objects floating in the ocean that can sink your boat. Read of the collision with a 'metal object' by a mini Transat boat in the Atlantic. What could it be if not a container? We thought they were perforated to sink these days.
John Jamieson is here again with some great sailing tips, Balvenie has a dreamy sailing tale in Morocco and we're featuring another neat safety device that will allow your friends and family to stop panicking if you're overdue on a voyage.
Much more too, newsy, educational, quirky, or just plain amusing, so make sure to browse down the headlines to find your particular interest.
Sweet sailing!
