The Friends of The Paul McGuire Maritime Library Inc

Hi, my name is Travis Rowe

I went on the One and All from Ceduna to Port Adelaide on the 1st to the 5th of October 2017.   I would like to thank you for letting me have the opportunity to sail on the One and All.

It was a great experience for me and I have taken a lot of things out of this trip.

The trip was amazing.   I met a lot of new friends and we are hoping to catch up with each other soon.

The most memorable moment that I had on the boat was when I was asked to go and help the deck crew tie the sails to the yards so they didn't flap around.   I learnt a lot of things about the sail boat such as how it works, how to coil the ropes, how to haul and ease the ropes and sails.

We also were able to steer to boat while on our shift.   Our shift went for 4 hours and if the next group was not on time they would have to sing nursery rhymes in front of the crew and our group.

We were the only group that was on time every time so we didn't have to sing any nursery rhymes.

Once again I would like to thank you and the people that made this opportunity possible for me. I wish you all the best with everything and hope to see you soon.
