Show Two of Season Three - Alice Parker - is now up and running

Positivity reigns supreme! Alice Parker takes to the Captain's Chair on @BulwarksandBulldust

She's the Navigator aboard URM Group, the @reichelpughyachtdesign1833 72 that holds the record for the fastest time for a conventionally ballasted vessel in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race. Fresh from participating in the Rolex Fastnet Race, Hamilton Island Race Week, and ahead of the Rolex Middle Sea Race around Malta, the über-effervescent Alice talks about all the happy times, the not so glorious moments, pathways into sailing, changing careers, sometimes being the only female on board, Ugg Boots, and cups of tea.

Let's all nerd out a bit. Eye spy plenty of gold dust, and we reveal the bulldust!!!

Acknowledging the support of Pantaenius Sail and Motor Yacht Insurance, The Boat Works Gold Coast, Melfi Designs, The Yacht Sales Co., ILIAD Catamarans, and Big Duck inflatables.

Many thanks to Cros and Dale of Bow Caddy Media, and the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia for the additional footage.
