Our lightning West Aussie trip has been filled with so much bacchanal and celebration you could be excused for thinking "we been liming like a boss!" Our first "event" was a huge night at Fremantle Sailing Club where we'd been invited to present to the Cruising Section. What a treat it was to return to our club, catch up with long time sailing friends and to meet new to us members over dinner and drinks before we set up for our session on "Sailing in the San Blas Islands" in the Wardroom. The Cruising Section, ably managed by Cruising Captain Robbie Hayes Hurst, opened the evening by showcasing the newly updated Circumnavigators Board and inviting ourselves, the legendary Jon Sanders and fellow world sailor Warren Batt (represented by family) onstage. What a thrill and an honour to now have our names emblazoned in perpetuity at FSC; it's another massive bucket list item ticked off! We feel beyond proud, completely estatic and truly grateful.

We then launched into our presentation on the San Blas/Guna Yala, one of our top 5 cruising destinations. Job done, we were then blown away to discover we'd been selected as FSC's "Cruisers of the Year". This prestigious annual award is usually announced at the club's AGM and we were absolutely stunned that the Cruising Section, and our club, had chosen to break with the usual protocol and bring forward their announcement to coincide with our short visit . Beyond delighted and grateful to all involved, we finished the evening sipping on bubbles and chatting with friends and club members about all things sailing!

All super exciting and well in the West!
