We
are the people that are FREE! |

|
Passage people are
those that have been met at anchorages or marinas or beaches
or whatever along the way. They are featured perhaps because
they are unique and special or because they are not, rather because
they are just typical examples but of an extraordinary group.
By being cruising boaties, all of these people have stepped off
the well trod path and done something exceptional with their
lives. |

Jenny
& John of “Footloose”
“Life is too short for shit wine”,
said Jenny.
What a pleasure to to be invited aboard the very elegant cruiser
Footloose. After 2 bottles of wine were poured over the side,
Jenny found one to her liking. A beautiful boat, great conversation,
and a very nice drop. Life is good on Footloose! |

Robbie, Norm, & Richard of “Pretty Woman”
“We are a drinking team with a serious
sailing problem!”
Caught in Nara Inlet “preparing”
for Hammo race week.
Norm (center) is the “spiritual leader”. Robbie (left)
is the “barman”, and Richard is the “fearless
leader”. The rest of the crew was last seen following a
trail of empty Captain Morgan Rum bottles in search of the boat! |
 |
Keri & Tyrone
of “Sahara”
Ty & Keri, between them have logged
a lot of miles between Asia & New Zealand. If you wnat to
find these guys in a harbour, wait until sundown & listen
for the laughter. Ty’s famous home brew beer, rum, and whatever
else will have taken hold by then. They have way too much fun
to grow up! |
 |
Helen & Nate of
“Sun Raiker"
Helen & Nate have a pretty and very
interesting junk rig double ender. A special boat for a crew
of unique perspective. The fitout of Sun Raiker is spacious and
very “home like.” A beaut inside & out. |

Lyn & Tibor
(left) with crew
Cristine & Doug of "Galifrae”
Just another bunch of transplants from Victoria who sailed up
and said, “This will do!” Their beautifully fitted
out 48ft. Steel ketch is now a Whitsunday local. |
 |
Suzanne, Bonnie, & Greg
of “Peregrine”
Suzanne & Greg started their little
sail from America with the year 2000 Baha Ha Ha, with a second
in class finish. After covering just about every South Pacific
Island on the way, they are here in Australia wondering what
to do next. 25 year old Bonnie joined them for the Holiday.
(Bobs note.... The Peregrine crew have
come to be important contributors to TCP and continuing their
voyage, last heard of in the Med.) |
