The 78th Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race delivered it all. Sailors pushing hard over 328 nautical miles for an arrival into Easter in Gladstone, for what turned into a full-send sled ride all the way north.
From first across the line to the final finisher. The volunteers and the Parrots. Sunrise scenes and night arrivals. Visitors and locals.
The effort that goes unseen does not go unnoticed.
Bring on next year. Good Friday falls on 26 March.
