WE HIKE... to the YACHT PARTY 2026! REGISTER INTEREST!

**Howdy hikers. A few ladies gave me a nudge last weekend. At last nite’s drinks event? A few more. So? It’s time to Hike… to the Yacht Party 2026. Please note - this event is not next Friday - just giving you all a week to register your interest to attend so I can yacht shop! We Hike to the Yacht Party 2026 will be on 17th October 2026!!!** Click "Attend" if you’re keen - not "Hmmm maybe" but rather "Fahk yes. I'm in there!" I’ll need to start hunting for the right yacht size. Last year we did 46 hikers, and the day went really well like this: a) We hiked. Optional. b) We had an hour to change clothes. Grab some BYO. And lube up at bar in the CBD. c) Yacht departure by Sydney Opera House. 3hrs. d) Yacht drop off at King St Wharf. e) Finished with our own private section at MJ’s local bar (we’d switch it up this year - we had drinks at Helm Bar last nite, and their private area was really nice, and they do duelling pianos on Saturday nites - fun, fun, fun). October is a great time, as we change the clocks then, and the prices are still lower season before they go way up in November. Who’s keen? Hit “Attend” and **[JOIN THE WHATSAPP GROUP HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ig0MHnm7TLFFC1rupyF28N)**. Last year it was $100 per head. This year it will prob be a similar amount and a few bucks more. Should we partner with another group? We could make it a biggie and mix in some new folks – message me if you have a group in mind, as I don’t do anything in any other groups. Thanks! MJ
