Day Five Recap - Port Macquarie to Grafton

We have been very fortunate to be on track with no delays so far.  The relay Baton continued north from Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour with Sydney NSW Pilot Cathy Hobson and local Port Macquarie Pilot Judy Johnson in a Cessna 182 enjoying near perfect flying conditions.  Leonie Mason a pilot based in the Hunter Valley, Tammy Augostin and Margie Sullivan also left Port Macquarie to position for their leg from Coffs Harbour to Grafton. They flew in Leonie's C172.  Local Coffs Harbour pilot Judy Riddel, a representative from the Cancer Council and other members of the Coffs Harbour Aero Club welcomed the girls with a beautiful morning tea in their Club House. Leonie Mason and team then flew to the South Grafton airport where the Grafton Aero Club members had prepared lunch, and Sara Biddles was waiting to collect the Baton.
