✦ Brilliant-online celebrated our 2nd Birthday in style, inviting clients and columnists to join Veronica and Chrissy aboard the The Rhythmboat to mark our brilliant milestone.
A wide cross section of the Greater Port Macquarie/Hastings business community enjoyed a relaxing two-hour afternoon cruise along the beautiful Hastings River and a scrumptious grazing table specially catered by Elsa and David of Port Adventure Cruises.
Special marine visitors
The couple were gracious hosts and provided a seamless afternoon of leisurely cruising. There was even a bit of dolphin spotting, much to the delight of all onboard. We want to think the dolphins came by to wish us a Brilliant Birthday!
The Rhythmboat has a fantastic layout, giving guests many options to kick back and relax, with the top deck being a popular spot on a delightful summer afternoon.
Dressed to the nines
As our Brilliant Birthday fortuitously coincided with the Lunar New Year, we decided on an oriental theme and some guests did not pass up the chance to enjoy dressing their best! We were all bowled over by the Best Dressed Lady, Jennifer McKenzie who took home a beautiful set of handcrafted earrings from Utopian Living and Shane Rowe was voted as best dressed by Tom "Cruise Director" for wearing the Avalon Men's shirt.
As it was the Lunar New Year, we simply had to include a traditional Singapore style toast - Yam Seng!
Each guest departed the boat with a gift bag in hand, comprising donations from My BlueTea, Grazed & Grown, House of Utopia,and the Hastings Co-op.
