It's always a pleasure to join this crew which has now raised more than half a million dollars for Cancer Council NSW - Newcastle and Hunter and Marine Rescue Lake Macquarie.
Organisers of the annual Heaven Can Wait Sailing Regatta today handed over the proceeds of this year's event - another $30,000 for Cancer Council and $5000 for Marine Rescue, in addition to a small personal donation which I make annually.
The event has now been running for 16 years. It's organised by Royal Motor Yacht Club Toronto and co-sponsored by Marmong Point Marina and Rotary Club of Toronto Sunrise.
My congratulations to all involved, and in particular Mel Steiner from the yacht club, David Randall from the marina and Tim Turner from Rotary. Great job everyone! Looking forward to next year's event.
