2013-06-08 06:48:02 - A3 - Leg 9 - Perth to Adelaide
Here is Tyger's descriptiion of this, our final leg in the AGage Around Australia series. The race will open for practice later today (Sunday, 9 June 2013).

"This is it, the final leg of the A3 Series, our gift to the memory of Aaron Gage known to us all as AGage. I am sure that we have all felt his spirit with us as we circumnavigated the great southern land that is Australia.

Appropriately, Leg 9, the journey home, starts in the channel between Fremantle and Rottnest Island. This channel was named ...Gage Roads... by the surveyor exploring the area in 1826.
Fremantle is the port city for Perth and is known in Aus as Freo. Freo is the home of America's Cup winner Australia 2 and Gage Roads was the location of the 1987 defence, the first defence not held by the New York Yacht Club.

Volvo Ocean Race, Whitbread and Vende Globe races have all either stopped here or had crew based here while tackling the Southern Ocean.

A 1300 NM dash south and then across the Great Australian Bight back to our starting point at BSYC in the Gulf of st Vincent."

RC - I was getting my geography confused. Adelaide and BSYC are next door in the Gulf of St Vincent. Could you make the appropriate edit here and anywhere else it appears. Thanx
