James Duncan at Darwin Sailing Club

I just spent a few pleasant hours introducing the new CDU Liaison Librarian, James Duncan to Darwin, I drove him around the town and we enjoyed a meal and a few drinks at the Darwin Sailing Club. I first met him in Brisbane a few years ago at an ANZILL Conference. Big change for James, yesterday he was a resident of Wellington, New Zealand.

Sunday roast... well sort of!!

I got a call mid morning from Julie. Could Hugh or I help out on one of the Darwin Sailing Club rescue boats. Seeing as Hugh was celebrating his 30th birthday in New York (and Mick Jagger was there!!) , it was down to me...
I raced down to the club, they radioed Rescue 1 and I climbed aboard and spent the rest of the day out on Fannie Bay. The roast bit comes about because I failed to sunblock my face. I look a bit like a badger today only red!!
It was however a glorious day...




They fell down!!

There was lots of good racing

Sunday music at the Darwin Sailing Club

Brooke Barnett, is one of my colleagues and invited me to her gig with JK at the Darwin Sailing Club so of course some photographs were needed.



We chatted with Duncan,the new Darwin Sailing Club Manager



It was good late afternoon listening to her own songs as well as covers.
Both she and JK are good guitarists and Brooke has a great voice.
