ORCV Melbourne to King Island (M2KI as part of the MMOC)

Soon enough it will be all about steak sandwiches.

At least for Magic Carpet, Chikara Outlaw and Jazz Player, all of whom are due in around 1500hrs. They have covered around 84% of the course and have a dozen miles or so to go.

The onions REALLY are the toughest part of these little gems.

In AMS, Jazz Player leads from Geomatic Joker, with Addiction and Beyond Outrageous with a gangway between them in third. These latter two boats are nearly identical Inglis' and really are that close!!! In IRC, Magic Carpet leads over Jazz Player and Ninety Seven. Theses leaders must be able to see each other out there, with just a couple of miles separating them. Magic Carpet looks set to claim the next McConaghy Melbourne Offshore Championship flag as they also lead PHS, with Chikara Outlaw and Jazz Player in the equation as well. At this time, our last boat, Magic, should be home around 2100hrs tonight.

Don't stop working Sally, just eat!

The all important flag that could lead you to the wheel, as pictured below. Magic Carpet are a chance to do it on their first outing. Nice work!
