HEAVEN CAN WAIT

Cheshire Cat is going to Lake Macquarie for the Heaven Can Wait one lap dash. We have opted not to do the 24 hour race this year, saving it for 2011 when John Harris can join us - we hope!

The organising authority of the fifth Heaven Can Wait 24 Hour Yacht Race and One Lap Dash is the Heaven Can Wait Yacht Club. The Venue is the Toronto Royal Motor Yacht Club Toronto.

The Heaven Can Wait 24 hour race was conceived and promoted by Lake Macquarie resident, keen sailor and cancer survivor Shaun Lewicki as a major annual sailing event on the lake, to promote sailing, the Lake Macquarie/Newcastle/Hunter region – and to raise funds for cancer research.

Proceeds of the 2010 will again benefit the NSW Cancer Council and the Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol (now Marine Rescue NSW). You can sponsor us by logging on to this very pink site

We (Anni, Julie, Terina and Dee from Melbourne) set off on Thursday and will stop overnight at Pittwater before making a dawn start to reach Swansea by lunch time when the tide will be on the turn and good for bar crossing.

The race starts at 11am on Saturday and will be finished by 5.30pm. This is the course.


We will of course have the rainbow flag flying high, along with the Balmain and ASCC burgees. And maybe even the cocktail flag!
