Mind-blowing Australia New Year's Experience on-board JAKE(Sydney, Australia)- New Year's Day. Australia. One of first nations on Earth to celebrate the New Year. It is a fact. Peter Gustafsson flew down to Sydney, Australia to not only "test sail" the J/111 Down Under, but joined Ray and Sandra Entwistle and family on the J/111 JAKE for New Year's festivities.
Ray,
Peter and the "JAKE family" were the first J sailors to experience the
dawning of the end of civilization as we know it in the Chinese Year of
the Dragon 2012. After all, only one hour past the dateline, they
celebrated New Year's Day in Sydney at 12 AM when it was 5 AM the day
before in Southern California 19 hours later! So, the Sydney J sailors
can easily lay claim to be the first sailors in the world to start the
New Year! OMG, looks like they had one helluva lot of fun! Read more
about it here on Peter Gustafsson's BLUR.se sailing website.
