ORCV Melbourne to King Island
All set.
Appearing from an undisclosed source is this image of Kevin 'No Fearr' Robinson. They were one of the 27 entries heading to King Island on March 12, 2011. Unfortunately, they have had to withdraw, with Kevin saying, "Gee I'm going to miss those steak sandwiches!". We'll miss having you there mate, too.
Now No Fearr's place was taken by Laurie 'Lozza' Ford and the Spirit of Downunder. So with that, everyone's all set, but what we really hope for, is that someone will be as relaxed this year, as Kevin was in the 2010 King Island race.
Now, it's also a big thank you to all 27 boats. A magnificent fleet including old faces, new faces and it promises to be a hoot. Below are some pics from Mystery Man, who has been completely AWOL for ages. You alive, dude?????
Grassy Harbour is exceptionally well protected and deep. Has sensationally clear and luminescent water too!
From around the same time as Rear Window was taken and pubished - see HERE.
Taxi!!!
We'll be with the team at the King Island Boat Club soon enough (John, John, Carol, Wendy, Ian, Michael, Darren and so many others). And yes. There'll be beef and cheese - I've already had the word!!!
PS. Look out for the plastic bag raffle - the contents can be very handy...
Just about upon us now.
