THE sun was high, the sky a deep shade of summer blue and the wind perfect for sailing, as Captain Cook Cruises and its team of travel industry representatives boarded the yacht Star of Antlia for the 2011 Rotary Charity Regatta. This year’s Regatta saw 35 companies, including Captain Cook Cruises sponsor yachts to race around Sydney Harbour, with funds going towards the Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick to buy “essential equipment for the hospital’s new operating theatre”. For it’s generosity Captain Cook Cruises’ and its industry guests had the opportunity to race against yachting legends including Wild Oats X, Brindabella and Loki. In true Captain Cook Cruises style, onboard Star of Antlia the cruise line’s guests were treated to a selection of fine wines and beers whilst soaking in the sun, sea and stunning harbour views. Although the team came in close to last, it was noted that the yacht was selected for its luxurious and comfortable style, rather than its speed. The lucky group is pictured above (bottom row from left) Alex Raicebe, Captain Cook Cruises; Brooke Tolar, Captain Cook Cruises; Kate Bourne, Adventure World; Allen Brooker, Pan Pacific Travel; (top row from left) Christie-Lee Lachance, Specialist Holidays and Graham Boan, Travel Corporation.
