Melbourne to Apollo Bay (M2AB)
It's good to be right.
This article is all about thanking the Senior Duty Forecaster at the Bureau of Meteorology for his efforts in relation to the 2009 M2AB race. It was his due consideration and appreciation of the issues, that allowed the ORCV's Race Director, Simon Dryden, to postpone the race on the sea state, not wind state, late on Friday afternoon.

It's still very cold here and the wind has been at least 30 knots during the day, so it really would have been the cold shower for a very prolonged period and about the only way to get into Apollo Bay if you had have gone, would have been a little like ‘Supertramp' all those years ago..
