Blues Dinner

I recently attended the UNSW Ben Lexcen Launch and Blues Dinner (www.sportandrec.unsw.edu.au/news/annualbluesandsportsawards). This is sports night of nights at UNSW and is always an inspiring evening.

I am lucky to be a recipient of the UNSW Ben Lexcen scholarship, which helps me with negotiating flexible study options and special considerations so I can continue following my sailing dreams. Helen Bryson is superwoman in managing all the elite athletes at UNSW and helping make the impossible possible!

Following the Lexcen Launch was the Blues dinner. It was an impressive night for sailing with Dr Melanie Webb being inducted into the Hall of Fame for windsurfing, and Lisa Darmanin (who was a teammate at the ISAF Youth Worlds) being awarded the Female Athlete of the Year!

Uni and training are keeping me busy, and both are going well. I've been spending some time on the water with Team Singapore, which has been great for getting the motivation levels up! Unfortunately it seems more and more that we are leaving summer behind us, and I'm sure its only a matter of time before the winter woollies will be coming out.

Cheers,
Gabe
