Melbourne's viscous weather has certainly taken her toll, recently.

We have just had this image and transcript sent to us. "... it was earlier this afternoon when we saw a rather sad looking 'Fleeka' come back into the marina with a busted mast. The Royal Yacht Club of Victoria had a race to Queenscliff today and I guess this is one that didn’t make it. 11 started and six had pulled out when we last heard, including two with broken masts. Bloody awful weather here today; a nice Merlot in front of the fire is a far more appealing option than yacht racing right now." Thank you to our on-the-ground friends for the pic...

A very sad Fleeka, all out of shape.... Commiserations to her owner and crew (and insurance company, I guess).
