We launched 'The Carrum Sailing Club' at the Sun Bookshop today. What a hoot! Thank you everyone who came and those who sent their wishes. It was lovely that illustrator Christina Booth could fly in from Launceston.
Dee White launched Carrum Sailing Club for me, saying lovely things.
Christina talked about the illustration process.
Steve, the immediate past commodore of the real Carrum Sailing Club!
My delightful niece Jane, and her lovely boyfriend Jake provided beachy music, including Rock Lobster and Yellow Submarine!
I did a second reading, allowing for audience participation. There was stomping, twirling and grape-popping.
There was a sailboat cake...
...and a ceremonial flinging in the air of 'starburst jellyfish' to pronounce The Carrum Sailing Club officially launched!

Me too, Sue. It was fun!
Great launch Claire and the bonus to meet up with writing friends again too- well done!
Thanks Lorraine, it was lovely that you could be there. Thanks for coming.
It was a great launch, Claire!
I am sure your book will sail out of the stores!
I really appreciated the inscription too!

Big congrats on your launch, Claire! Looks like is was a great day. I'm sorry I couldn't make it down. I look forward to reading the book.
Thanks Thalia. Hopefully CSC will be available in that wonderful Bright bookshop...what's it called?
I can smell the salty aroma of sea-success from here!
Congratulations, Claire.
love

Hey Claire,
Sorry I'm so slow to answer your question. The bookshop in Bright is called Country Tales. I'll ask them about CSC next time I'm in.
No probs, Thalia. I can just look it up and contact them myself. :) Just being lazy.
