from first point of contact, to completion of the sale.
Graeme was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and
patient. Everything was very straightforward and he is
always willing to help. Thanks again for all the help and

Commodore
Sophie Sharp “Time Out”
I’m very excited and honoured to be this year’s Commodore
of the 49 th Interclub Bay Cruise. For my family it will be our
9 th Cruise and a week look forward to every year. It is a
wonderful week of boating, friends, old and new; and fun
in the sun of course.
I have been a boating girl my whole life, growing up with
boats from a 17-foot speed boat to our current boat, a
48-foot Riviera called “Time Out”, and all the fun of the
jet ski “The Hulk”. We have travelled as far north as the
Whitsundays and as far south as Yamba on “Time Out”,
but we love to play in our backyard, Moreton Bay. We like
to explore, swim, and have sharp adventures. Every day is
a great day when you’re out on the water.
As your Commodore my role is to oversee the Cruise
to make sure we have smooth waters when we set sail
in September. This year with the help of the amazing
committee we have an amazing itinerary, some delicious
food, some very supportive sponsors and an amazing
lineup of activities for everyone.
Also, I am excited to say that Sophie’s Cooking Class by
Sophie’s Catering is returning this year on Sunday afternoon
right before the Commodore’s report. The dish is a surprise,
but don’t worry it’s a delicious surprise.
Hope you all enjoy this year’s Cruise and feel free to come
up and say ‘Hi’ at any time.

Commencing in May 1976, the Interclub Bay Cruise is the largest
and longest running single event held on Moreton Bay. Whether your
preference is sailing or power boating, the Cruise provides a safe and
inexpensive family holiday, with around 50 vessels from boating clubs in
South-East Queensland attending each year.
How the ‘Cruise’ began
In 1976 the late John Hattrick, whilst
Commodore of the Royal Queensland
Yacht Squadron, initiated an annual
bay cruise to promote safe family
boating and goodwill amongst the
boating fraternity.
Almost five decades on, the Interclub
Bay Cruise continues this tradition
with the dedication of a committee of
volunteers representing several yacht
and boating clubs.

Vice
Commodore
Patrick Schmorl “Escapade II”
Hey, all you rock ‘n’ roll Cruisers!
I’m beyond excited to be your Vice Commodore this
year, and to be hitting the water with my family for
our 5 th consecutive Cruise!
This year has been a challenging one especially for our small
business friends, but guess what? We’ve scored 12 rockstar
sponsors and some awesome raffle prizes that should blow
your mind! A big thank you to these generous sponsors and
don’t forget to buy your raffle tickets for the chance to win!
In my role, I’m also cranking up the volume on our talent
quest. Who can forget the unforgettable father-daughter duo
from “Obsession” doing their physie routine? This year, let’s
turn up the heat with some rock n roll dancing, singing, or
any special talent you’ve got. We’re aiming to put Australia’s
Got Talent to shame!
And don’t forget our infamous trivia night! Start flexing those
rock ‘n’ roll trivia muscles and get ready for a night of laughs,
surprises, and serious fun.
Patrick, Harrison, Amelia and (at the back) Mel Schmorl
We’re also bringing back the crowd-favourite Secret Sailor
present-giving. I can’t wait to see what the most popular gift
will be this year — and who will be the first to steal it!
Thanks for giving me the chance to be your Vice Commodore
in 2024. Let’s make it an awesome week on the water, full of
rock ‘n’ roll vibes and unforgettable memories.
Rock on!
Rear
Commodore
Kymberly Moore “Impetuous”
Hello Cruisers!
The countdown is over and it’s time for our favourite holiday
of the year!
I can’t wait to be on the water with everyone, especially our
Junior Cruisers who are going to LOVE what is on the kids’
agenda this year. Our Kids’ Committee has done a fab job
planning all the activities and they’re thrilled to be helping
make The Cruise what it’s famous for — good ol’ family fun.
Has anyone ever heard of a mullet throw competition?
Neither have we! But we’ve got one lined up and it’s going
to be bags of fun and a great opportunity to win some
prizes. For those without a good mullet-throw arm, perhaps
yabby pumping, sand tobogganing, ball games, or craft
could be something fun to get involved in and make some
great life-long friends.
We also have something new this year for our not-so-junior
Cruisers and that’s our Daily Photo Comp. This will be open
to anyone and everyone who has a great photo to share.
Maybe the sunset, perhaps another boat, some friends
having a laugh, or even a good size fish. Our Fishing Comp
Harrison, Gavin, Kymberly and Olivia Moore; (below) “Impetuous”
on again too, so make sure you ‘weigh-in’ your catch with a
photo. I bet we’ll have some stellar entries, and it’s another
fun way to win a prize (even if you’re not a kid). SMS your
photo by 4pm each day to:
Daily Photo – Chloe Sharp “Time Out” 0477 559 931
Fishing – Jeff Hircock “Wayne Douglas” 0450 926 610
2024 will be my family’s 4 th Interclub Bay Cruise, so keep an
eye out for us on our pride and joy, “Impetuous”.
See you soon for happy hour.

The Cruz Nooz, our daily newspaper
Cruz Nooz editors Jo and Craig
Haswell from “Bethaline” have done a
wonderful job of putting together your
daily newspaper — in it you will find the
daily news and planned activities, tide
times, and lots of fun puzzles, quizzes
and activities to keep kids of all ages
entertained, including a colouring-in
competition.
Each morning at 0700hrs we ask our
Junior Cruisers (and parents) to meet
at “Bethaline” (pictured below) to
collect the Cruz Nooz, and then deliver
it by dinghy to all vessels flying the
Interclub Bay Cruise burgee.
It is also customary to ‘pay’ for your
paper — a small bag of lollies is the
going rate.
If you miss out on your newspaper
in the morning, you can still get your
Cruz Nooz from “Bethaline” or on
shore at the evening’s event.
Don’t
forget to
fly your
burgee!
0700 hrs
Here are a few safety tips
when delivering the
Cruz Nooz:
• Don’t rock the boat.
Watch your speed and wash —
or Sarge will be onto you!
• Wear a lifejacket.
if you’re aged 12 and under.
• Be mindful of others.
Give everyone a fair go and
watch out for other ‘traffic’.

Radio Ship
Graeme Sharp “Time Out”
Welcome, fellow Cruisers, especially
our New Cruisers! We’re excited for
another great Cruise as we reconnect
with boating friends, both old and new.
Let’s hope our offerings to the weather
gods have been sufficient for smooth
sailing this week.
This year, “Time Out” will serve as the
Radio Ship, managing and monitoring
all marine radio traffic. We’ll keep you
updated on any programme changes
or important information via VHF
radio channel 77. Please switch your
VHF radio to channel 77 and leave it
on throughout the day for updates.
Tune in each day for our morning
Radio Schedule at 0810hrs for
key information, including weather,
maritime details, flag officer and
Sarge reports, and any Cruise
programme updates.
If you need to leave the Cruise or
deviate from the itinerary, please log on
and off with us to ensure we can track
all participants. If you encounter any
issues, contact us for assistance.
Something new this year is a
WhatsApp group, to advise of any last
minute items instantly. All skippers will
be added to this group. Make sure you
download the app to your phone!
Remember your radio etiquette:
keep VHF Ch 77 clear. If you need
to chat with another Cruiser, switch
to a different channel after contacting
them on 77.
Stop by “Time Out” (pictured left) and
say ‘Hello’!
Sergeant-at-Arms
Katie Hircock “Wayne Douglas”
Sam Hodder “Wind of Change”
Who’s ready to rock ‘n’ roll?
For this year’s Cruise Sam and I are back
in action, on a mission to issue more fines
than ever before.
No excuses this time — no gold coins?
No problem! Just tap that card.
Watch out parents: we’ve got mini-constables
on board ready to keep an eye on things.
Don’t forget your name tags and bring
some tasty lollies.
Let the fine-fest begin!
Sarge Katie ?
DOB IN A TROUBLEMAKER!
Sarge’s SMS Hotline
0420 475 782
Remember the
Sarge’s song:
Hi Ho, Hi Ho,
it’s on the Cruise we go,
If we don’t be good,
like we know we should,
it’s gonna cost us dough!
To our New Cruisers:
Sarge makes an appearance each night at the evening’s event to report on
any ‘law breakers’ that have been dobbed in ... Don’t forget to bring your
cash or cards ashore in case you need to pay a ‘fine’ for any mischief you
may get up to, and remember to wear your name tag!

ISLAND
For all our Cruisers, this is an
opportunity to dress your vessel with
bunting and all it’s finery to Cruise in
procession past the Commodore’s
boat and ‘take your salute’. The fleet
certainly looks impressive as it makes
its way along single-file.
For our New Cruisers, there is
a specific order to follow — The
first vessel is the Vice Commodore
who leads the flotilla followed by any
past Commodores (in order of oldest
serving), then the Committee boats,
and finally the rest of the fleet.
The Rear Commodore (as the name
suggests) is the last boat, at the rear.
This year our sail past will be on
SOUTH Friday, 20 September, when we
STRADBROKE leave Paradise Point.

Calling all Junior Cruisers — join us for a mini

Dress up your dinghy for a chance to win prizes!
Meet at the designated site on shore at Paradise Point
(location confirmed by Rear Commodore Kymberly
on the Radio Schedule the morning of the event)
and then follow a set course in single file past the
Commodore to show off your vessel.
This is a much-loved event, and Commodore Sophie
is really excited to see how the Junior Cruisers
decorate their tenders!
