Going to be a fantastic couple of sails😍
Cameras at the ready Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights when we light the ship up “blue” to celebrate the festival.

Step aboard the Lady Nelson festival Saturday for a 90-minute harbour sail where breathtaking waterfront views meet the incredible stories of Sir Douglas Mawson, Sir Ernest Shackleton and the golden age of Antarctic exploration.

Alright crew, Master Richard C has just given the green light - WE ARE SAILING TONIGHT! 👏🏻

Sadly, the weather pixies are threatening to be a bit grumpy this evening so bundle up, dress prepared for a splash of rain and let's keep our fingers crossed the forecast is wrong.
This is Tassie - we ain’t afraid of a bit of rain, right? 🤣
