It's happening. Weekend of the 14th. Should you come over, I am sure a berth could be found.

This is a bit unorthodox..answering my own enquiry..Yes it is, I looked up the Russell BC website.
New question would it be easy to get a berth on one or more JR boat at the event. Considering flying over from West Oz
Is this event happening in 2023
