WoB’s October: Flare Evening onboard SV Rhona H: Postponed please see the new event details below.

The weather has been very frustrating with continual changes for Monday. Although in reality flares would most likely be used in inclement conditions, as a training exercise we want to be sure of reasonable conditions as we will be using pyrotechnics and want to ensure safety for all.

Having spoken with Tracey, we came up with an alternative for Monday.

From 17:00 (but very flexible and you are welcome to join us when you get there as I’ll be onboard until 20:00).
You are welcome to come aboard Rhona H (alongside Elizabeth St Pier), if you’re interested I’ll give a quick overview of the ship, history and you can see what we’ve done to preserve her. Then a radio refresher (an opportunity for a taster for those who are interested in doing a radio course as well), then fish n chips from Fish Frenzy. You are welcome to eat onboard, it will be a little tight below decks for more than eight, but up on deck is okay, but please bring a jacket).

We will do the flare evening once the weather settles, but with having to organise our (all volunteer) crew it is only fair we give them notice to allow them to plan their day.
When:
Monday, October 16, 2023, 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM E. Australia Time (UTC+10:00)
Where:
Onboard Rhona H
Board at Elizabeth Street Pier
