In the Wake of the Spray

[Melinda Taylor]

Hi all,

Check out this link www.saltypost.com it the website of Tristam who
has built a replica Spray from Slocum's drawings. Having already
sailed 30,000 miles in Usquaebach he is now planning to recreate
Slocum's 'round the world voyage.

He has contacted the SSSA to see if anyone wants to join the boat for
a leg or 2 or do a sail in company. Plus, of course meet up with us
when he arrives in Australia.

We will be following his trip with great interest.

Melinda

G'day Melinda,

How good is this? I have logged in as a member or whatever and I will be promoting the voyage in my Ray White Bowral Newsletter (around 5000 a week). What an activity it would be, like the Centenary of Josh's arrival, for Sprays to escort them into Port Jackson!!!

Hi Tony, we're on the same page there, the first thing I thought of
was an escort into Sydney. I emailed Tristam with the idea so let's
hope it gets legs. What a great welcome for the boat and crew and a
fantastic way to promote the Spray design.

regards,

Melinda
President SSSA

G'day Melinda,

Thanks for the email. The Slocum Centenary sail in started as a simple exercise and blow e down, soon we had Channel 9, SMH and all the media on it and the ANMM created a "Seafarers Seminar" over one day which was a huge success.

Fortune favours the brave!
