💔 Crew Departures💔
It is with a heavy heart that we say farewell to our beloved deckhand Hamish!
Hamish joined us when he was only 16 in November of 2021. Since then he has grown both professionally within the role but also has grown into a young man ready to explore the world. After finishing year 12 last spring Hamish will be heading up to Hotham to work the ski season this winter before moving to Canada late Spring.
There are many things our crew and passengers will miss about Hamish wether it's his contagious smile, witty sense of humour, quirky commentary's, excellent customer service skills or his unbelievable rope throwing skills we feel so grateful to have had him working with us for the last 2.5 years.

We wish you all the best on your adventures Hamish and hope you'll make it back for a few shifts in mid-late Spring before you head off to Canada!

Tomorrow will be Hamish's last shift with us so please come down and wish him a farewell or tell us in the comments what it is you'll miss most about this incredible deckhand?
