Only a week ago Tawe Nunnugah was spread from Franklin to Recherche, with Deb taking registrations at one end
and at the other the first arrivals who had left early to take advantage of the wind.
Equipment was piling up and the whiteboard was thick with plans.
Soon enough the boats were being loaded on trailers and Kate was assembling the kitchen team.
Tuesday night’s dinner at the Watersheds was the first formal event of TN25.
By Wednesday evening the whole scene had transferred to Moss Glen (Recherche Bay), with the waterfront filling up with boats
and the ground around the Community Hall with tents.
The first meal was served, and the first briefing delivered by Martin.
Crews were introduced to their boats.

watched over by Tom and his crew in the mothership,
There were stops in Southport and Dover and we are now in Alonnah.

All pretty simple really. Raids are easy – just ask Martin Riddle.
