 Registration and bag drop for the Return Raid is at 16 EvansStreet near the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart at 11 am on Mondaymorning. Evans Street is behind the Henry Jones Hotel on the north side ofConstitution Dock (Salamanca Place is on the south side of the dock area) – mapattached.
The original plan was for the Return Raid fleet to leaveHobart from Watermans Dock on Monday afternoon, however, the current forecastis for strong westerly winds from midday Sunday, easing late on Monday afternoon.We will have a better idea of how the weather system is moving at 11 am onMonday. If the winds are unlikely to ease in time for a safe crossing duringdaylight we will look at alternatives including the possibility of busingpeople to a camp site for Monday night.
As always we will be watching the weather and will make adecision accordingly. Some people on the Raid have limited email access at themoment – if you are speaking to someone doing the Return Raid please check withthem whether they’ve received this email and if not, let them know about thebag drop at 11 am and the possibility of a bus shuffle if the strong windsdon’t ease in time. |
