Swinging to Osaka!
Friends, families and supporters gathered at HBYC on Friday evening to farewell the crews of Escapade and Turbulence who are off to Osaka next month.
On a perfect evening, the crowd swayed along to the music of the Melbourne Tramways Big Band and the hospitality of Hobbo’s.
The excitement is building among competitors and the comments on the night ranged from “we just want to get started to finalising the last of the preparations”.
Joey Gough, honorary member from Scotland and one half of the Escapade crew shortly Osaka bound will take some time out to address the HBYC Cruising Group with a talk about cruising around Norway and the Arctic circle on Tuesday 26th February at 7.30pm –All welcome.
