From Munie
Wednesday April 1st 2009


Dear Doug and John,
My heart leapt with joy when Mark & I saw you jump out of the Falcon GT at Apollo Bay on March 5th. It was such an exciting moment; to see you both for the first time in over 5 months, a year or two in John’s case, and to meet the jovial Canadian Crew, all with very wide grins and a sense of anticipation for their forthcoming journey through the heads into Williamstown.

You all looked so healthy and relaxed, it was hard to believe you had sailed through that ghastly storm just before reaching the safety of shore.

Apollo Bay gave us our first opportunity to check out the Falcon GT, after initially learning 10 years ago that John was going to ‘build a boat and sail to Australia', and to also follow its incredible exploits on the daily blog. What a yacht!

Hearing wild and woolly stories while sitting in the cabin of the Falcon, with all the crew, John’s son Thomas (who was celebrating his 19th birthday) and a couple of surprise mates from Melbourne, who drove the 8 hour return trip, was a very special time.

My brothers, John and Doug, with their Canadian Crew, had just accomplished something pretty amazing in their lives and something which I greatly admire.

Dawn the following morning brought with it rain, but breaking through the grey clouds, the intrepid Falcon GT appeared once more, this time sailing through the heads between Point Lonsdale and Point Nepean.

Just a dot on the landscape, Mark and I waved madly from the Point Lonsdale lighthouse, before racing up the highway to Williamstown to witness the official arrival.

Our mum, Fay, who turns 90 this month, was decked out in mohair rugs and scarves as protection from the cool breeze. She waited ecstatically in her directors chair on the Williamstown marina.

My sister Anne had baked a cake, ready for the crew’s arrival party, while Viv, Jeanette and Alex nearly burst with excitement. Amanda, Jenny, young William and Thomas just couldn’t wait.

A large crowd gathered, with faces appearing out of the past and memories rekindled by Jules’ and Doug’s old mates.

Right on the dot of 2.14 pm, Friday 6th March, the mighty Falcon GT sailed in, the crew waving madly before falling into the arms of the rowdy reception.

The sailors entertained their family and friends for a couple of hours before heading back to the beautiful house and garden in Beaver Street for an Australian lamb roast and orange syrup cake, courtesy of Ian and Anne.

It was great to meet the Canadian crew, share stories of their adventure and spend time with them at Southbank along the Yarra River the following night.

Audrey is a star; she kept us on the edge of our seats for the whole trip. THANK YOU AUDREY!

It’s great to have you all home! Love Munie

A fabulous job with the latest videos.

If I knew anything at all about boats and sailing I’d sign up for your return to Canada – you gave a lot of people a lot of enjoyment every day of your trip. You probably became as habit forming for many of us as Tim Hortons. Great work all of you. I hope when you get back to Canada you will have some form of presentation of the trip – even us non-sailors would love to see you all tell the story.
Thanks for the adventure.
David Edgar

You made it Congratulations!

Congratulations to the crew of Falcon GT!
What a voyage what an adventure and I have to thank all of you for it.
Checking the website 3 or 5 times a week to see how you are doing and the number of people that I sent the site address to you will be amazed how many were watching you!
Congratulations John Gayford and crew and thank you for sharing your remarkable trip and dream with the rest of us wanna bees!
Best Regards from the West!

John, Doug G, Doug S, Stewart, Brendan
OBEISANCES ALL ROUND. What a fantastic achievement for you guys.
Humble apologies for tardiness of this message – our excuse being that we have been in the UK “attempting to assist” #2 daughter after the arrival of our third grandchild (first granddaughter).
Having caught up on all the Guest Book entries and viewed (several times) the marvelous video clips, appropriate superlatives escape me. All I can say is WOW! and congratulations on a “job well done”. The daily logs, photos and videos certainly stirred up the remaining salt in my blood at least, and enabled a great many people to complete the voyage vicariously. I refer back to my first message to you ref. the late, great Paul Newman…….the sentiment stands.
So whilst Brendan goes billabong-hunting, Doug & Stewart are back in the loving arms of their respective families, no doubt slowly absorbing the enormity of their achievement and returning to some semblance of “normality” - you could always offer Crewing Services on Lake Ontario at highly inflated rates!!!!! (Naah – waves not big enough!).
Very Best Regards…..and thanks for the trip.

Never in my wildest nightmares could I imagine those murderous waves. Taking the pictures of the water flowing from the tap and the clothes swinging from the force of those waves was a stroke of genious.
I have to have another cup of coffee after watching those videos.

The March 4th storm gave me a whole new respect for what you guys endured. I felt seasick just watching all that rolling and the big waves. I think I would have gone mad with the constant motion, swaying tap water and dancing clothes! The dolphins greeting the Falcon and leading you into Apollo Bay couldn't have been a more perfect ending as you approached your destination. All in all, an amazing voyage on an amazing vessel. John can justifiably burst with pride! He and his "baby" thoroughly proved themselves as champions!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Brendan and Crew of the Falcon GT,
In this world, there are dreamers and there are doers.
It is with great honour and admiration that we commemorate a bunch of doers, the crew of the Falcon GT, who stopped dreaming and experienced something that very few humans can say the have done (willingly). I hope that you felt then and feel now the sense of excitement, envy (well, not always) and anticipation that we felt while you were at sea, wondering what you were seeing, feeling and thinking as nothing but majestic seas (and curious animal friends) surrounded you.
Thank you for sharing your words, pictures and video. They were often the topic of conversation around the water cooler.
To commemorate the completion of your journey, Aaron, David, Andy, Joanne, Howard, Imran, an anonymous donor and I made another donation to the tribute Cancer fundraising campaign.
Once again CONGRATULATIONS, we hope you enjoyed the voyage and that the memories (the good ones) will last a lifetime.
P.S. We are still waiting for the picture of you opening that bottle of champagne.
Sincerely,
Rafael D.L.C. Moctezuma

John congrats

Hi All, I would like to thank Doug S. for the time and experiences he shared with us this morning on board SV Falcon GT. These little snippets will go a long way in helping with the construction of our Radford 15.2m alloy yacht which we hope to start soon, especially to see an unpainted alloy yacht which we have been thinking about and after seeing FalconGT will be definitely going that way.
Again congratulations on your adventure and may your stay in Australia be a good one.

Hi Brendan and crew of Falcon GT,
Congratulations! My family and I are very happy that you arrived safely in Australia, particularly after reading what happened over the past few days and the accident on board of the Spirit of Mystery. You have inspired a lot of people by demonstrating that, with hard work, dedication and courage, dreams do come true!
Congratulations again and enjoy your time on land!

Congratulations!
Friday Mar. 6th 2009


Congratulations John !!!! You must be very proud and happy right now! I must say that is quite an accomplishment...first, that you made it there and second that they didn't throw you off the boat after 10 days! That was my guess in the pool at work! haha only kidding! We have been keeping up with your travels daily and are quite envious and in awe that you had a dream and were able to see it through, not many people are that fortunate! You have been the topic of many conversations at home(my cousin is following your travels also) and at work. We have all enjoyed your journey and are thankful for being able to go for the ride with you!
Hopefully Joe, Sam and I will be able to get together for lunch again with you when you're home.
All the best and thanks for the entertaining website..That's our "gay johnford" always keeping us entertained!
All the best!

The Fantastic voyage
Thursday Mar. 5th 2009


Doug S, and the crew of the Falcon GT,
Congratulations to you all,
It's an excellent adventure story with a happy ending. There was everything that you need for a great story of adventure. One man's dream was the flint and four others brought the kindling and the firewood. I started reading the daily blog about two or three days after you left New York. I was captivated by the daily logs that brought us on board in our imaginations. I suppose that like myself, most of us would hope that we never get talked into anything so beyond our comfort zone affecting our daily lives. On the same token many of us wish that we could follow our dreams of being able to hold on to our youth and look danger in the eye and not back down. In this case I am getting the idea that the experiences, accolades, awards, honors and confidence surrounding the skipper gave all of you and your loved ones the green light to set off as the great explorers and mariners have done so in the past. I believe he has another addition to his resume as do all of you.
I mentioned in an earlier email that the trip was playing out like a high adventure story. I didn't dare say anything to jinx the voyage because the climax really didn't come until just a few days before you came to your final port of call in Williamstown. Who would seriously wish that on anyone out in the great wide open. It didn't fare too well for the Spirit of Mystery. But for their final chapter, it could have been a hell of lot worse.
I really enjoyed the description of your wave riding experience. It was just as I imagined the worse case scenario that I hoped you could do without. I have read a few accounts of high sea adventure and personal journeys like yours and they always seem to include white knuckling storms. I guess it must be worse for the reader than the sailor(second thought maybe not!). It seemed like with the greater the test of skill and luck the greater the reward and enjoyment. It's a knife edge you were balancing a 46 foot alluminum boat on and were able to make that beautiful boat and hardy wonderous crew look like the victors. I was certainly glad you were able to use good judgement and find safe harbour. I am sure there are shipwrecks littering that coast with great sailors that for whatever reason that lost the pissing contest with King Neptune.
I just want to thank you for making my Canadian Winter just glide by like a kind and steady breeze.

Wow what a day! Lisa has used all the Metaphors we could think of, saving us the trouble of writing them all again.
What an exciting day it has been reading all about your battle with the "The Cruel Sea" It was like reading a thriller Doug. You wrote it and described it eloquently. Don't you know yet, what happens to us old people when they get excited?
Between running to the computer and running to answer the calls from Audrey I had to call my Physio and delay my appointment, scared of missing something. Then another call from Audrey. " Go to camera one" is the order. Back to the computer.
Wow, there is the Falcon speeding along, it is out of sight so quickly.
Off I go for my Physio, arrive home and hardly remove my shoes when there is another call-- "Go to camera 4"
Am I on a film set? We dash to the computer and again there is the Falcon. What a beautiful sight.
Well done Lads. Top Class. What a Thrill it has been over the past months. What are we going to do now for excitement. A once in a lifetime occasion that we are so fortunate to have witnessed in our old age.
What can you do to your M.I.L. now Doug? No plane ride will ever top this for excitement.
Welcome back to Dry Land, Brave Sailors.

Hello everyone aboard Falcon GT:
Just got back from a weather presentation at BHYC and wanted you to know we all gave a hearty toast to all of you for an incredible achievement!
I have followed your website every single day and I can’t believe it is over – I can already feel myself going into withdrawal. No more living vicariously through your exploits.
Enjoy this last bit of time together and enjoy the party you will have upon arrival.
Congratulations again!!!!!!

Congratulations John and the entire crew - all that time together and all of you counting on the strengths of each other to make it happen -what a story to tell for years and years.
You were sure the topic of conversation at the retirees luncheon. When I got home I picked up the phone and called the Oakville Beaver to see if they were covering the story and the guy said, "Oh Wow, Thanks for the head-up. No one told us anything about it."
- and by the way, I hope Audrey is still one of your crew on the return voyage. She has kept us all on the edge of our seats reporting the entire voyage.

Thank you for sharing your adventure. Now who's organizing the party for your loyal fans? Looking forward to toasting you all face to face.

Here’s hoping that the blog continues for the return voyage to Canada .
