After all the votes have been counted, we can now announce our winner!
Congratulations Peter Turrell, our readers loved your brilliantly coloured submission entitled “Returning home” taken in Bass Strait. Peter said, “I shot this photo just after our early morning departure from Trouser Bay of Marlin after our circumnavigation of Tasmania on our way back to Melbourne. As you can see, we are up and running about 20 knots.” Riviera HQ will be in touch to arrange delivery of your prize very soon.

“It’s not always smooth sailing. We’ve had plenty of fun times on the boat but on this particular day my husband was taking the boat to Port Hacking and came across an upturned tinny with two people, clinging to the hull, and not wearing life jackets. He called the water police and got them both onboard, then looked after them until help arrived. We found out after that they were taken to hospital with hypothermia but otherwise were okay.
A funny side note was that after I found out they were okay, and that my husband had given them our towels to keep warm, I was worried that he’d given away our Riviera towels!”
