On Friday the 5 th December the Board of Directors and members of the Tasmanian Sail Training Association had the great pleasure of welcoming the Governor Mr. Peter Underwood and his wife Mrs. Francis Underwood for a sail on board the Lady Nelson.
After a very wet and cold day the weather cooperated and the sun shone and the breeze blew gently for the sail on the harbour. Members on board looked very smart in their white shirts and the ship was handled in a very professional manner, such a pleasure to see. Both Governor Underwood and Mrs Underwood were given a guided tour of the ship and a chance to take the helm.
After returning to the wharf, light refreshment and a glass of wine were provided and we were joined by many other members of the association to welcome our new patron. The Governor praised the association and its members for the lovely condition of the ship and the work we were undertaking for the community, and Our Chairman presented his Excellency with a copy of our latest publication about the history of the current Lady Nelson.
What a pleasure it was to see so many friends on board, a chance to say hello and catch up with the news.
