Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club raises funds for disabled

The Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club was a sea of French-style berets on
Saturday for a fund-raiser for Sailability which featured the very
chic Lisette and Her Faux Manouches.
Fresh from a four and a half star performance at the Adelaide Cabaret,
Lisette, alias Cathy Lawrence, who looks and sounds a little like
Edith Piaf, kept us spell-bound with her soulful renditions of great
French classics.
Buoyed by her little glass of port (to keep her warm in her slinky,
sleeveless gown on the bitterly cold August night) she also sang songs
from other cultures.
We all joined in singing an irrelevant version of La Vie En Pose with
words by Dvishti Rankin made up of lines of nonsensical French words
such as ..fait accompli, maison,. creme de menthe… etc. And the
throng of francophiles (women with their berets, fishnet stockings and
slinky short skirts and men with their cravats) would not have been
out of place in a Paris nightclub.

The fun event was held for a good cause – to help cover costs of
Sailability is sailing for the disabled whereby disabled children and
adults of all ages are taught to sail in dual control 303 access
boats.
