ORCV Melbourne Winter Series (MWS)

The lure...

This is not going to be a story about fishing, but gee, about now I could really handle hauling up crab pots to find huge, 1.5kg mud crabs inside...

No. For us, this lure is all about that addictive thing called yachting... Our current Love Boat, Audacious, have been having a spell away from things, but alas, the lure of the sea has just been too much for them. Greg Clinnick tells us, "Just to let you know that we have put in a casual entry for Race Six of the ORCV Winter Series on Sunday August 28, to bolster the Colt action. We are all getting a bit twitchy from a lack of adrenalin."

Here is the Love Boat crew after the 2010 Westcoaster and below, this is them going past the South West Cape on the way to Hobart...

At one stage, Audacious held the Happiest Crew On The Water mantle and it's not hard to see why.
They love their yachting... This shot is after the 2009 Westcoaster. As 2011 will be the 40th Westcoaster, one wonders if they'll forget
their Northern idea and head South at Xmas time again?????????????????????? Think of the party...

With Challenge, Chutzpah and Mille Sabords already out and about, it will be good to see Audacious out there, too. Perhaps Cinquante will come up up from Geelong again, eh Bully??? Of all the collective nouns for horses, the one I like the best is drove. So Colt owners, out you come to make a reall drove of it!

Me thinkey they'll make an effort to be there for Geelong on September 10, as well...

	Celebrating its 41st consecutive running - the Winter Series was first run in 1972 and is still the same format today! Be a part of the Bay's hottest racing at the coldest time of year or just pop out at the end, for the Bay's favourite bash - the event officially known just as Melbourne to Geelong, but you may have other names for it...
	In September, the Melbourne to Geelong event  finishes the Winter Series off and there will be presentations at RGYC for it. Of course, by the time Stanley comes around,  you just know Silly Season proper is upon you...
	Many thanks to Hobbos and particularly Tony Dawson for getting our favourite shooters - Teri and Alex - out on the water aboard Privateer. Many thanks also to Jon Bilger and his PredictWind   team who provide us with great information for both Race Management and Marketing Communications, alike.
