A stationary deer...


... with no eyes, is still no idea.

Like I've just said in the piece No Idea, there were some great things going on just before Easter. So much so, that I actually had no idea what was going to be the hero pic, because I just couldn't choose. All pics © Steb Fisher.

So yes, by default, this pic of Veloce at the General Recall kind of gets it by default. Lucky it was a GR or it would have been around you go!

Couldn't have paid for a shot like this. At least Ninety Seven's was just wool, Jazz Player had all sorts of issues to contend with and lost heaps of ground in the process.

FleetAC10Sat-0876

And this pic of Scarlet Runner lee bowing Living Doll was always up for an honourable mention! Ikon also in frame.

GRecallAC10Sat-0069

Lots of boats in the same area as a huge Yankee Foxtrot got my attention too!

GRecallAC10Sat-0067

But my sentimental favourite was this one. Gee I am glad you are all OK. Richard it was good to talk with you at Port Fairy and then again on the phone at Apollo Bay. Thank you. This one was already up for a mention for the boom sticker, BTW.

Addiction is doing the buffalo girls to Turbo.

FleetAC10Sat-0613

Still kite issues, Ninety Seven with the fashionably Melbourne black band aid and Schuss. Go the boom sticker!

FleetAC10Sat-0873

Jazz Player will be buying this for the pool room! ... I swear mate, we were with 'em. Really! Yeah, yeah. Talk it up!

FleetAC10Sat-0875

A huh.

FleetAC10Sat-0876

Cop this!

FleetAC10Sat-0877

FleetAC10Sat-0878

And take that!

FleetAC10Sat-0880

Good view from the windward rail here. Have to thank the skipper later....

FleetAC10Sat-0933

Ah yes, but revenge is mine!

FleetAC10Sat-1086

Radford 35 in front of Archambault 35 and B First 40.

GRecallAC10Sat-0015

Anyone seen a line?

GRecallAC10Sat-0022

Yeah. Let's all head for the yellow thing together and at the same time then huh? The two Radfords, Silk and Horizon Sprint, in pole position there.

GRecallAC10Sat-0027

Lisa Batson-Hammond with the "You'e going in there?" look and Simone Hoey on the bow.

GRecallAC10Sat-0031

Isuzu trucks.

GRecallAC10Sat-0032

Keepings off, huh?

GRecallAC10Sat-0033

Ok red vest, you have it!

GRecallAC10Sat-0034

GRecallAC10Sat-0037

GRecallAC10Sat-0051

Herding cats - theoretically possible. In practice, just a tad more difficult.

GRecallAC10Sat-0056

You go, no you go, no, really, I insist!

 

And yes all you Tim Shaw lovers - there is MORE.
