Well I think I can quite honestly describe myself as exhausted. Happily exhausted, but far out! What an amazingly intense week here at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.
I broadcast daily from the event, I was on the water every day, with two days of sailing, AND I even managed to MC the Henri Lloyd fashion parade in my “spare” time!
I don’t think I am going to write too much, because the radio shows will really help you to re-live what was an incredible event, so at least have a listen to the highlights package! It is worth it 🙂
For now though I will have to stick to typing, because my voice is pretty much done!
If you want more, you can be a part of the social media action – I would love to hear from you!
Highlights:
Includes interviews with: John & Ingrid (Spider 22, smallest in the fleet), Silas Nolan (Wild Oats XI bow, Shockwave), Adrian Finglas (RQYS Youth Program), Matt Owen (Local Hero, boat of the regatta, CEO Canberra Yacht Club), Denis Thompson (Race Director), Swan Dive Adventure, Gavin Brady (Beau Geste Racing tactician), Leslie Green & David Chapman (Ginger, winning MC38), Andrea Francolini (official photographer), Glenn Bourke (CEO Hamilton Island), Matt Chew (skipper of Alive Yachting and Gen XY).
