Slow news day this Friday, so let's beat up Thursday stink boat fire!

On the Nedlands foreshore, near the Flying Squadron. There's even an unexciting video........

The West Australian Sailing community was shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing away of Bluewater sailor Frank Saraceni.

Frank died of a heart attack while working out at his gym last weekend.

Frank was a keen offshore and river sailor at Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, with his deep blue BW36 “Al Fresco” winning many races.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Frank’s wife & children Sue, Matt, Lisa & Peter.
