It was a fairly guttered Bob 'Freight Train' Williams that I spoke with yesterday. The 'Freight Train' just simply did not have enough time left to ensure he could deliver the event he wanted to, on the start time he had hoped. He simply had to postpone his Around Australia Ocean Race and Rally and hence has had to pull into the station for an unscheduled stop to gather 'supplies', before pushing on once more. "We will find a way", was how Bob put it to me.

The Freight Train has been a marvellous friend of the ORCV and we wish him well getting all the logistics in place for this really huge event around an even bigger than that venue - namely our own island continent!!!

All the best Bob. We know you wont let the 'Freight Train' loose too much momentum. We look froward to news of your developments, as they come to hand.

See HERE for his website and as displayed on Sail-World, HERE.

Bob has been tireless in his energy to get around to as many people as he can and so infectious with his enthusiasm during the many deliveries that the 'Freight Train' has made.
