In early April, Dan Lyon (“Diver Dan”) delivered Tai Tam across the Tasman, from RBYC to Opua New Zealand. Dan has very generously to be our speaker at the monthly Guest Speaker Dinner on May 15th.
Dan will touch on several topics, mainly focusing on route planning, conditions at sea in the Tasman and some aspects of heavy weather sailing as they approached New Zealand. The last leg of this delivery had Tai Tam sailing down the NE coast of New Zealand from North Cape to Opua just as Cyclone Vaianu was bearing down on the North Island, so Dan will have some interesting experiences to relate!
As usual, after gathering in the Members Bar for the weekly announcements and members’ draw at 7:00pm, please join us in the Bayview Room for the dinner and talk.
A reminder that bookings are essential for catering purposes. To book, please contact Reception on 9592 3092 or email [email protected] prior to the close of business on Wednesday May 13th. $40.00 per person is payable on the night, inclusive of a two-course dinner.
Following Dan’s Friday Night talk, a Cruise in Company to Wyndham Harbour is planned for that same weekend (May 16th/17th).
