Taxi Driver...

... well if I had just gone with The Deer Hunter, then I now had to go with Taxi Driver as well, didn't I.

There was some consternation with the runners up, more than the hero pic, this time. All pics © Steb Fisher. Here's some more pre-Easter activity.

The two ringins from the TPs would not have thought they'd escape our attention - and they got the best jobs onboard. Nice work!

MC Hammer (Prodder time).

Another large Yankee Foxtrot - Good thing we mine and ship a lot of stuff, otherwise each one of these would do even more damage to the Balance of Payments

Now the hero pic was always going to be he of the loud shorts (Cheers Smithy) and we also promised you some more of he of the impeccable hair do - he's there on the kite gear...

Getting fully motivated for the pre-feed...

Now surveying it all from the shrouds is one Lex 'Luther' O'Connor and the hair is completely natural and soft as! You should see the girls go nuts over it. Hi buddy, BTW.

Run, Run, Run.

I think will start calling the bow wave a Steb. so here then, is Steb 1.

Steb 2

Sam Chandler goes forward. Steb 3. I reckon it's Ikey driving as Rob doesn't hand out the keys too much.

Steb 4.

Quintessential Steb Fisher bow wave shots right here. The circular pattern on the right is wicked.

Red or white? Nuh. Red is best. Faster right? Around 275m2 of it..

Through the immaculate gybe...

And then whooshka - off you go!

Terry Hall's Absolut and that, always in everything, Executive Decision.

WOW. Now this is my kind of flying. Quadruple bonus points!!!! As Foxy would say - Yahoo Baby.

The man himself.

Must know something.

Horizon Sprint

Lisa Batson-Hammond has certainly got back on the horse after seeing two rigs come down on her - this year alone!!!

Lisa Hamomd-Batson and Simone Hoey on the bow. Yes I know the name is around the other way. I am looking to see which works best.

Gybe Oh.

Sheet, sheet, sheet.

We certainly know Wavelength.

This is Intrusion.

They've been doing well in the Club Marine Series, the last round of which is coming up this Saturday, actually.

A marvellous Steb. Just terrific.

Bonus points for the trimmer.

Great detail. Can almost feel the kite and the smell that stale salt as it comes out of the bag.

Veloce - it's italian for quick and this Elliott is certainly that.

Give that halyard some Larry, pal.

That'll pop out.

Another Steb. Crew focus and Action Man shot of the mastman earned this image a place in the piece.

JAMHU in behind Veloce.

A bit like Pinnocchio, her nose has grown...

I am sure they'll be back for the Melbourne Winter Series (MWS) to defend their Lord Warden Trophy. See HERE.

James 'Cyclone' Bacon with the tiller here.

I think it is Rob Sill on the helm. Hip must be all settled now?

Watermark.

Always a thank you to the volunteers...

Busy, busy, busy.

No surprise to see Surprise up the front.

That was the Saturday then, which means Sunday is next!
