ORCV Melbourne to Geelong (M2G)


Nearly.


Well. Here's the thing. You see, the pages still keep getting hit, so whilst we're definitely nearly done with M2G pics, we're not over - just yet. Sure it is close, very close, but with such a good fleet out for the race and so many good image options, well, we just had to ensure we got around to it all.

Many thanks to Steb Fisher for the use of his images and with that - let's go!

B129M2G10-1139

Slice of Heaven, and Hush, with I dare say, Remedy, in the background. Now just on Slice of Heaven for a second, Anthony Weeks' Sayer 129 is one of the currently 22 starters for the M2S at the end of the month. Go HERE to join the gang sticking their nose out into it for the first time this season.

B129M2G10-IV356

I would imagine she is a great passage making vessel.

B129M2G10-IV358

Brochure shot, by the looks of it.

Yes. We've seen this one before, but what a gem of an image.

B1587M2G10-1149

Thunder from Brighton.

R186M2G10-IV346

A lot of them sail together for years, but they also manage to take newbies out, too...

R186M2G10-IV347

That man Trevor Huggard on the wheel. Stay aware of the boat and him - more on it all, soon enough...

R880M2G10-1141

Alien - so the Div2 racers caught up to the cruising boats.

R880M2G10-IV361

She belongs to John Raff - is that you on the helm, pal?

R912M2G10-IV369

Howdy.

R912M2G10-IV371

Bit of splash adds to it all...

R912M2G10-IV373

Mrs O.

S47M2G10-1110

Is that how much of the waterline the diver actually did? Almost overstating it, really....

S62M2G10-1127

Burggraaf and Hibbert on Rememedy.

S62M2G10-IV349

Now Brian Burggraaf (Pic of him in the AGM stuff, HERE) has put in an EOI (#5 thereof) for the 2013 M2O, but Remedy will not make it, so it is 'TBA', for now...

Sm5508M2G10-1130

Hush, it's a Slice of Heaven.

Sm5508M2G10-1132
