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

Rear Window.

Like James Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, it's all about the view from our, rear window, this evening.

I mean this really was something very special, as the sun began its inexorable slide into the horizon.

And then it just got better!!!

13 boats are home now, which leaves seven out there. We hope to have them in by 2300hrs. Our last boat appears to be Full Circle, presently, and that goes a long way to describing some of the weather that has been in the West most of the day, into the SW late in the piece and now is from the SE. A little while ago the wind was dying badly, around the time The Secretary was coming across the line, actually. Anyway, there's enough in it presently and the current is blissfully running North to South, so maybe, just maybe, we'll get them all in before midnight!

All right. Back to the artsy fartsy stuff.

Geomatic Joker, Beyond Outrageous and Jazz Player (hidden) lie at anchor in Grassy Harbour.

Looking back over the port up the port road.

Clouds, the Secretary and Yoko.

Parked boats just up from the King Island Boat Club - Chikara Outlaw and Ninety Seven.
