At one point just a few weeks ago, it seemed that a third of the state was coping with overwhelming floods while the other two-thirds was on fire. The dreadful fires that swept the northern half of the state are still burning in places, but on the water, conditions for the Kettering Wooden Boat Rally were perfect. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it continues for another great maritime event on the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, the Port Cygnet Regatta on March 7.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
