Keller's Leeuwin Adventure experience

John Bylund introduced Keller Peel who had partaken in a Leeuwin Adventure voyage recently. Keller presented a PowerPoint of photos from his voyage saying he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and made many new friends. He picked up many new skills such as cleaning decks, stowing gear, how to set rigging and sails and leading a watch.

The first few days were for learning about the ship and on the later part of the voyage the "sailors" were allowed to control the ship. It was hard doing a night watch as each person had to stay awake. They circumnavigated Rottnest island and upon return to Fremantle had to be on deck as a sign they weren't going to attack.

Sunset and night watch, no time to sleep.

Keller admits that as a sailor, he makes a very good boilermaker/welder even though he never got sea-sick. He enjoyed the adventure and still keeps in contact with the others who were aboard.

In the rigging and not on the cannons. What cannons!

Jim Henderson gave a vote of thanks to Keller for a very lively presentation.
