On Day 4 of SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week, the fleet was sent on the sailors’ favourite – the Around the Island Race, starting off Peppers Race Headquarters and taking the fleet around Magnetic Island via the stunning Orchard Rocks on another glorious day. I know the Island quite well, I sail around it regularly, so I decided to go towards the Island and everyone else didn’t! The latter is owned by Glenn Myler, who recently clean-swept the Melbourne to Osaka 5500nm double handed race, sailing double Sydney Hobart winner Alive with its usual skipper, Duncan Hine. “We didn’t fall into any holes, because we were so far behind everybody, we could see what was going on in front of us and the boats heading in to the Island didn’t do too well. SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week is supported by Townsville City Council through Townsville Enterprise.
