Melbourne to Apollo Bay (M2AB)

Season's end, but not over.

Perhaps there's a reason why 20 vessels are already in for the offshore season finale - the race to Apollo Bay. yes it's shoprt at just 54nm, but it is always a tricky sucker. Do I go in or do I stay out? Will the breeze fill in more towards the middle of Bass Strait or am I playing some coastal puffs? Hhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm.

One thing is for sure and The Brass are on to it. It may be the end, but until it's all over, it's just the beginning. "When the extra drop comes into play the offshore championship is wide open and will come down to the performance in the Apollo Bay race."

You don't need me to tell you there's just one or two points in it and that's before Huey plays his hand!!! Study the yearbook, I say...

	Not a place to go into in an Easterly or if you draw too much. Plenty of souls around to ask about that and the bombora out the front. Supertramp above looks bad, but had storm boards in etc. Port was closed thereafter, though...
