PORTHOLE

LAKE Macquarie in NSW is gearing up to put a twinkle in the eye of all boat lovers with the region’s perennial favourite boating regatta Float Your Boat about to drop anchor on 22 Jun.

As part of the event, members of the public who own a boat are encouraged to decorate their vessels with lights and colour, gaining the chance to win $4,000 in prizes as rewards for their efforts.

If only the Titanic did something like this people might have been rescued sooner.
