Townsville sailor Donna Dewhurst is happily heading to her 10th SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week (SMIRW) where she will arrive with the usual all-female crew and her Hunter 310, Soul Sister, for Townsville Yacht Club s annual event, which opens spring racing and closes the season of major sailing events in Northern Queensland each year. This will be my eighth with my boat Soul Sister. I did my first two on other boats, says Dewhurst of Race Week, to be run from 2-8 September. I wish I d woken up earlier. I was a fulltime mum and hadn t sailed for a while; then a friend introduced me to a friend from Melbourne who had the yacht Instant Karma entered for Maggie Island. And I thought it was about time I did some sailing again. I had a bloody ball. I forgot how much I loved sailing. You reignite yourself and reunite with old friends.
