Quiz News!
The Brains of the Bay quiz season was exhumed on Wednesday 21st October, when 19 teams returned (or participated for the first time) for an exciting and pulsating quiz, which went to a tie break when Quiztopher Columbus and Answers Aweigh finished level on points. First-time participants Answers Aweigh prevailed to set up the remainder of the season as a challenge to the existing bulwarks of the Dun Laoghaire harbour intelligentsia. We welcome Answers Aweigh, Thin Quizzy, and the returning The Quizzly Bears to the quiz. In the absence of reigning Brains of the Bay Wizard, it was an opportunity for many teams to get a head start. However, seasoned campaigners Enchantress, Corner Boys, Celtic Boys and Chancellors could not make an impact, putting paid to the claim of âa year older, a year wiserâ. Still, T.B.M. and Quiztopher Columbus kept the newbies honest. The next round is hotly anticipated.
IN CONVERSATION WITH BRIAN UNIACKE
40,000 nautical miles. Five oceans. One extraordinary adventure.
Join us at the National Yacht Club for a special evening with Brian Uniacke, First Mate aboard Team Tongyeong in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, hosted by fellow Clipper Race adventurer Damien Payne of Team Power of Seattle.
From challenging ocean crossings and unpredictable weather to life at sea, leading a crew and the unforgettable moments of sailing around the world, Brian will share first-hand stories from one of sailingâs greatest endurance challenges.
Hosted by Damien, the evening begins with dinner, followed by an engaging conversation with Brian and a Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to hear the stories behind the adventure and put your own questions to him.
Whether youâre a passionate sailor, an ocean-racing enthusiast or simply curious about what it takes to sail around the world, this promises to be a fascinating evening of adventure, insight and inspiration.
Dinner, stories from the high seas and a chance to hear from two sailors who know what it takes to go the distance.
