Community 42 Making a Splash with Sorrento SLSC! 1 Paul Little AO watching the races from the beach. 2 Two participants in the junior swim. 1 2 As part of Toll’s ongoing sponsorship of the Sorrento Surf Lifesaving Club, we supported the club’s annual bay swim, held in early January. An Australian summer tradition, swimming competitions in the open sea are organised in many surf lifesaving clubs across the country to encourage health and wellbeing, and water safety for all ages. For over ten years, Toll has supported the work the Sorrento Surf Livesaving Club does in patrolling one of Victoria’s most popular beaches, as well as their annual bay swim. This year, the event was held on Sunday 9 January with hundreds of people taking part in the day. Swim event coordinator, Jim Sheedy explains how the day went. “After months of preparation, the swim finally arrived. The forecasted 10 knot southerly winds, was to be perfect for the event. Success on the Tasman 3 Shaun Quincey crossing the Tasman. Toll Global Forwarding New Zealand recently sponsored Shaun Quincey in his challenge to row solo from Australia to New Zealand. Shaun departed Coffs Harbour, NSW on 20 January 2010 and arrived at Ninety Mile Beach, Northland, on 14 March. He was welcomed by a crowd of over 500 friends and family. In total Shaun took 53 days to complete this challenge, the straight line distance across the Tasman is 2,200km but winds and currents meant he had to row nearly 3,900km. “Hundreds of people were on the beach by 8am to register for their events, and get prepared for the big races. The crowd was kept entertained by club vice president and DJ for the day Marc Calvin who pleased the parents with lots of 80s classic tunes. “At 10am 140 junior entrants started their 600m race. This was the biggest junior race to date, and a great event spurred on by lots of proud parents and supporters cheering from the jetty. “Next came the novice race which again was a huge success, everyone seemed to enjoy their first taste of racing. This was followed by the main open swim, which saw some cross the line of the 1.8km course in 22 minutes. That’s the same speed as Kieran Perkins (although the tide did help a lot!). “The over 60s race also saw more than 30 entrants. These guys and gals are a fine example of the health benefits achieved through swimming”. 3 With 540 participants safely taking part and completing the course this year, it’s a huge triumph for the club and a great fundraising activity collecting more than A$20,000, to fund the club over the coming year. The team of volunteer lifeguards at Sorrento patrol the beaches, ensuring all visitors are safe while playing in the surf. The team also teach youngsters or ‘nippers’ how to swim and be safe at the beach, giving them the confidence and skills to enjoy the sea. MD Paul Little ao gave a speech at the end of the race to thank the participants and Sorrento’s volunteers for the hard work they do to keep the beach a safe and popular weekend destination for Victorians and many of Toll’s employees. n Shaun, aged 25, became only the second person to row solo across the Tasman after his father Colin Quincey completed the same challenge in 1977 and this gave Shaun the inspiration and motivation to go on. Much of Shaun’s days were spent strapped to his seat on the oars for up to 10 hours a day, cooking, doing boat maintenance, and trying to get some sleep. There were some days where Shaun was confined to the small cabin on his boat when the weather was so bad it was too dangerous to go outside. Shaun had many sleepless nights due to swells of up to 3m, and he was faced with some extreme situations caused by storms, one of which resulted in the boat capsizing at 11pm one night, breaking oars and loosing valuable equipment. Thankfully Shaun managed to survive this ordeal and was able to continue his challenge. These hardships and experiences only added to Shaun’s tenacity and determination to achieve his goal to complete his solo challenge. Shaun is now working on writing a book and planning for his next rowing adventure. Toll Global Forwarding was very proud to support Shaun and wishes him well for his future adventures. n
