The weekend is to raise money for Prostate Cancer and to have fun doing it.

This is our first year & to start it off we raised our SICYC Burgee. |
The first day was a quiet day, more a meet and greet and registration day.

3rd Day was a busy day, we had the Hands Across the Blue in the morning, 60's theme party starting 3.30, a group beach photo at 3.45 and fire works when it gets dark so the time on the schedule was 7.30-8.15. And through out the day-night fundraising.
Hand Across the Blue is where we assemble in our dingys to the allotted area wearing our SICYC shirts, wait until everyone has arrived listening to live music forming the shape of the Prostate Cancer Logo. Then as the helicopter flies around with the photographer, we listen to some speeches. Well that's not all we did in our dingy, we were stocked up, we had beer, sausages and chicken strips still warm for lunch and some snacks.
The large boat is where the band and the speeches were. |

David and Martin, the umbrella was mainly used to keep shade on the beer, lunch and snacks. |
Back to the 60's theme, it was held at Montes Reef Resort with courtesy boat pick ups which was nice not having to work out who was driving us all back home.

The end of a great week end. Everyone on EverRest are all planning to came again next year. |
On the 2nd and 3rd day there was Thai Chi on the beach at 8am. Martin and I thought with all the partying this weekend we should make time for some exercise.

Hi Martin,
ReplyDeleteSorry we haven't been in contact for a while. It looks like you're having a wonderful time and cruise but we've passed you when we went inland. We are now at Emerald heading slowly south so hopefully we'll catch you back in Canberra around Christmas or the New Year.
Enjoy your continued travels,
Tony & Jeanie Reeve
