Alex McKinnon - Part One.

This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. was in Melbourne for this morning's start of the 2011 Melbourne to Geelong event and then came down to Geelong to capture the finish. The first sample of her marvellous © pics are for you.

Well then - let's just get into it...

Just after they re-started, Alex grabbed this image of Goldfinger with the Div2 boats getting ready for their turn.

Going into the race, Toecutter 2 were in the lead for the Lord Warden Trophy, having sailed well all season.

See - there was some sun.

Hard at work on Goldfinger.

Jazz Player gets some air.

Laurie 'Lozza' Ford is pretty happy that his SoD has taken out the PHS Div1 prize, but the crew point out that today's race was the first one of the Winter Series that he's actually been onboard for.... Hhhhhmmmmmmm. well done, Lozza??? PS. The crew did also say that his new name was 'handbrake'.

More on the way from Alex!

When the M2G is done, you'll get the results for that race and the entire MWS, right HERE.

	Celebrating its 41st consecutive running - the Winter Series was first run in 1972 and is still the same format today! Be a part of the Bay's hottest racing at the coldest time of year or just pop out at the end, for the Bay's favourite bash - the event officially known just as Melbourne to Geelong, but you may have other names for it...
	In September, the Melbourne to Geelong event  finishes the Winter Series off and there will be presentations at RGYC for it. Of course, by the time Stanley comes around,  you just know Silly Season proper is upon you...
	Many thanks to Hobbos and particularly Tony Dawson for getting our favourite shooters - Teri and Alex - out on the water aboard Privateer. Many thanks also to Jon Bilger and his PredictWind   team who provide us with great information for both Race Management and Marketing Communications, alike.
