This was discussed at the Committee meeting in June, with the thought being to catch the 8am Sailing on Friday Morning, this allows a relaxed Drive Thursday Arvo, or an all nighter, if preferred, getting us to Ohakune for a restful Friday Night and the beginning of a great weekend.
New Matters:
Discussed travel to Nats from South and decided on 8am Friday Sailing, with a Cruise leaving Christchurch Thursday Arvo. Return crossing Monday 1:30pm, Vaughan to update thread.
Hayden to check how to make bookings to get "Group' discount on BlueBridge.
