OnWednesday we need to get everyone to Recherche Bay and, as there’s no publictransport, we do this by sharing rides. At the end of the day, everyone shouldbe in Recherche together with the truck and towing vehicles. The cars andtrailers not needed should be back in Franklin. If you are driving downthere and have spare seats, please check that no-oneat the Shed needs a lift. If you are towing a boat down, plan to start earlyenough to get to Recherche Bay, launch your boat, drive your car and trailerback to Franklin and then get a lift back to Recherche. If you are doing the ‘trailershuffle’ you don’t need to set off at the crack of dawn but you should notleave Franklin later than about 11am as it takes about an hour and 20 minutes each way. Everyoneshould try to get there by 4pm – remember you will need time to put up yourtent before it gets dark. The ride sharing will be largely self-organising –people heading south with spare seats should offer them to others using thetn21 WhatsApp group. Similarly, people needing a lift should post a request onthe WhatsApp group. |
