ORCV Melbourne to Apollo Bay (M2AB)


It's Cold!!!


That was exactly how Teri Dodds described it to me when she sent through this image.

This is great to show how there is sun all over Point Nepean, cells blowing over like the one in the top left and that super cold onshore breeze howling in through the Heads....

eXtasea won the start just from Spirit of Downunder with Magic right there in third, George Shaw told me. Teri Dodds was impressed that Ecky had put 200m on quickly, which is a good effort in a boat not necessarily designed for reaching.


Go get 'em sailors!

Not a place to go into 
in an Easterly or if you 
draw too much.
Plenty of souls around to ask 
about that and there's also 
the bombora out the front.

Supertramp above looks bad, 
but had storm boards in etc.
Port was closed thereafter, 
though...

Don't even attempt to go in 
with an Easterly blowing, 
however...
