4th November - Hummingbird reunion


Monday 4th November

Our TasmanianTime is whizzing past, most alarmingly. 


Then 
One of our many (many…) events last week was a Hummingbird reunion.  Twenty years ago Pete was in a racing yacht syndicate, with two Johns, one Jim, one Chris, one Roger and one Richard.  Oh and Geoff…  They trained diligently for many months and then raced Hummingbird in the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.

Now
They did very well, but…it was Pete’s one and only ocean-going yacht race.  Not comfortable!  He has since, as we know, become Captain Pete of the Seven Seas.  And this is what he looked like, back then…


Pete 20 years ago

 We are now in Launceston, visiting more family.  Matilda, two years old, showed Pete to the spare bedroom.  This is where you are sleeping.  And your mother can sleep here too.
