All right, so it’s a day or two before St Patricks Day but that doesn't stop us celebrating all things Irish in our weekend cruise to Blakesley's anchorage.

Depart from home in time to reach Blakesleys anchorage (27 34.5S, 153 24.5E). There will be a radio sked on VHF channel 16 going to 77 at 11:10am. Arrive at Blakesleys in time for Sundowners on the beach at 3:30pm. Prize for most original Irish-themed cos-tume. Prize for the best Irish joke. BYO drinks and something to share for sundowners. Dinner on your own boat or be social and invite a friend or stranger over to share dinner.

Sunday morning depart for home at your leisure.
