The boats awoke to a stunning sunrise and headed east for a day of sightseeing and surfing. The Rumours offloaded their surfers and headed for a circumnavigation of Maatsuyker Island, the Roundtop and Flat-top islands before heading out to Pedra Branca for a spot of fishing. The Nena and Velocity headed east trawling for the first Bluefin of the trip. Albert hooked and landed a nice fat 25 kg specimen just east of the Big Witch. The surfing crew jumped in at South Cape Rivulet for fun few hours of waves while the Celtic Rose jammed their way towards Recherche Bay warming up for the night ahead.
The boats rafted up in the late afternoon sun, prepared all of the lovely seafood collected over the last ten days and sat back and enjoyed the music under a starlit sky from the Wild Roses, the 2024 cleanup band. Over 55,000 items have been collected, counted, itemized and documented and are heading back to civilization where they belong.
A massive thanks to the skippers Darren , Dave, Adam and Nick along with our fantastic volunteers who braved sea sickness, storms and the chilly autumn mornings to clean the shores of the magnificent TWWHA. Thanks also to many the sponsors and supporters without whom this effort would not be possible.
