MEMBERS of the Historic Port Al bert Boat Club fired up their boats and headed across the water ways at Port Albert for a weekend on Snake Island. The Historic Port Albert Boat Club was established in 2013. “This year we celebrate our 10th birth day,” member Geoff Lipscombe said. “You don’t have to own a boat to be a mem ber of the club, just enjoy boating,” he said. “We enjoy one another’s company and focus on good preparation, that’s the key to keeping everyone safe on the water,” he said. “Within our club we have many hours of seamanship experience.” “New members are always welcome and as I said you don’t have to own a boat to be part of this club.” At the weekend, four boats enjoyed a leisurely trip out to Snake Island where they dropped their anchors for the night.
