ORCV Melbourne to Geelong (M2G)

The hand of God.

He of the Pointy End, Chris Furey has supplied us with some of his images from onboard The Love Boat durning the M2G. Cheers on that.

For artsy fartsy value alone it was always going to be hero pic. 0735 on Saturday morning on the ay to the start line...

The fingers of the hand of God.

LtoR is Alibi, Peregrine and INSX.

Alibi and Peregrine would be at it all day - here, they're on their way to Pt Richards.

Alibi and The Bookmaker shared a moment.

LtoR - The Bookmaker, Team BO, Alibi and the Cappers.

"Chasing down the Colts." That seems like a good idea, to me.

"The delightful Daniel and Trish with their PYT. They bought their Young 88 ex ‘Final Fling’ through me a few months back and the seller was Tony Manning, who has just bought Eddie Wall Smith’s 11M One Design, Ultimate Tune, which was also through me", Chris said.

Ed. Hey Tony, now there's a CVD!!!!

"Eddie, SYC’s longest serving member, was a strong supporter of the ORCV back when he had the Farr 43’ ‘Rimfire’ and later, the Frers 43’, Challenge III. He has finally decided to hang up his sea boots at the grand age of 84! We often say to the seven year old kids who come through the SYC C-Fleet junior training program, that sailing is one of the few sports you can pursue competitively for just about your entire life and then we mention Eddie and Lou, as prime examples."

Ed. QED.

Having done a 30something, I just had to do a 60something...

And then a 50something.

Gienah and Peregrine go in to R2.

Gienah and Nutcracker crossing tacks.

Off over towards Port Arlington.

Would have been the hero pic if it had not been for the artsy fartsy number. Chris liked it too! Then again, he has reason too, "I particularly like the Matrix shot with the Channel Marker #1 showing in the slot. At that time they were #1 in Div2 which seemed appropriate but we reeled them in again a short while later and held them off to the finish."

There's a wave.

And there's the bow.

That'll be some mountains. All right, hillocks.

Here's some clouds for you.

And clearly they were playing with Matrix a lot, on the way to Geelong.

BTW, Chris says, "Anyone who wants full sized originals (mostly 2 Meg +) can call me 0410 55 1977."

Quiet time on the quay, Sunday morning...

We'll find something to talk about, soon...
