“SPIRIT OF MYSTERY”

Spirit of Mystery has had a refit at RYCV (storm damage repaired and deck recaulked by Ferdi Darley and his traditional shipwright team and a paint job) and with Andy Goss in charge, left for Blairgowrie last Friday - then on to Queenscliff, possible via Sorrento. Next stop is planned in Grassy, King Island and then to Hobart - before the voyage to Sydney in July for the Boat Show for which Pete will return to give a Talisker Tales talk about the project.

Spirit of Mystery

Spirit of Mystery chips in to help local youth; here is Pete handing over a cheque to Peter Harris in support of his passion which is to support youth development through Tall Ships and sail training. The big challenge at the moment is to raise enough money to get the Alma Doepel back up and running.

Pete Goss said "It's a great project and I can see myself becoming involved in some way"

News of future events for Spirit of Mystery will be posted on the official web-site www.petegoss.com
