Onya

A strong Australian phrase meaning “nice job” or “well done”, we just have to say “Onya!” to the Australian Navy, who once again steamed into the Southern Ocean to rescue Yann Elies from his Open 60 Generali this weekend after he snapped his femur. While the cost of these rescue operations is substantial, the Aussies never fail to step up to the plate – something that is immensely comforting to racers and cruisers alike. Read more about Elies’ rescue here, and why not send aholiday email to the Navy telling them how much you appreciate their service to sailors?
