The Recreational Boating August Guest Speaker evening is Wednesday 21 August 2019 at 7:30pm in the Port Phillip Room.
PETER TURRELL
40 PEOPLE, 30 DAYS, 10 BOATS AND 1200 NAUTICAL MILES
Peter Turrell is a 20 year plus member of Sandringham Yacht Club, and is a previous Captain of Recreational Boating. He is also the current holder of the Wayne Reed Trophy having won the fishing competition in October 2018.
In February 2019 he participated in a cruise around Tasmania, starting in Port Philip. This involved 10 power boats, 40 people, and 1200 nautical miles over 30 days. This is the fifth trip Peter has completed into and across Bass Strait.
Peter is also a very keen photographer having won several prestigious awards with his camera work.
These interests have coincided in a book that is being prepared, covering this trip, with Peter providing the photos and the narrative for what promises to be a spectacular offering, documenting their trip around the fantastic Tasmanian coastline.
Peter will cover the highlights of this epic adventure in visuals and words, and will also address trip preparation.
This will be a great night, enhanced if you want, by dinner in the member’s bar beforehand.
