Susie McCarthy

Susie’s Ceremony – This Sunday 12th February.

Sundays start will have a Ceremony in memory of Susie’s 18 odd years with the TSCQ & sailing on Moreton Bay in general.

The planned procedure will be:

9:30 – Justin McCarthy (Susie’s Son) and Family will attend the briefing to advise of this procedure for those who do not read thisl.

Too Impetuous will anchor in the middle of the start line but to windward 50-100 meters.

10:40 2I hoists the TSCQ flag at half-mast & boats wanting to participate perform a sail-past along the start line from starboard end to port end (seen from the starting boats perspective), crossing astern of 2I. They will have to be fairly close to get all this done in time, should take about 10 minutes all up.

After the last boat has passed, there will be flowers & a wreath cast into the water from Too Impetuous.

Too Impetuous departs.

Race starts.

I trust all crews who did not know Susie, and do not take part, will allow this moment for a Woman who is very well respected and loved by all who got to know Her both in Australia and in America.
