4 June 2010

From Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the Norris family are unlike any other with an extraordinary tale to tell of their sailing trip around the world in 1825 days at this year’s Sydney International Boat Show.

Like many other parents whose key priority is to spend more time with their children, Adam and Bronwyn Norris spent more time with their children through an unprecedented sailing journey around the world for five years, even selling one of their houses to finance the trip. Accompanying them on the trip was their two children, Jack aged 7 and Amy aged 5 who would make this recreational boating experience even more memorable for their parents.

The world voyage took the Norris Family through Asia, across the Indian Ocean and around the Cape of Good Hope, through the Caribbean and the Panama Canal before sailing across the Pacific into Pittwater, returning the Norris Family back into the norms of Sydney life.

Appearing at the Sydney International Boat Show as guest speakers at the Better Boating Lounge, the Norris Family will be available to provide first hand detail on their captivating experience that took their entire family on an unforgettable voyage around the world. The family will be present at this year’s Sydney International Boat Show, which will be held from July 29 to August 2 in Darling Harbour.

With their astonishing tale to tell, the Norris Family’s story is an inspirational tale that will captivate audiences and inspire many future ‘family’ journeys to come.
