ORCV Melbourne to Stanley (M2S)

Robert, Vladimir or Roger?

As we know, it doesn't take much for the Skipper and crew of Escapade to live up the boat's name. There was Vanuatu, then Geelong (this is a very public apology to Brett Averay from Pole Axed, seen here on the left, BTW) and now Stanley.

Delighted with their AMS win, the party started before they even left the shed. Speaking with Vladimir (on the right, above) at little while after they got back, he apologised for not talking with me at Stanley - must have forgotten that last half hour before the pub closed is all I can say... Still. I must have been truly memorable, it would seem, but Robert was good to talk with.

At any rate, Vladimir ended up as Roger the Cabin Boy for the return voyage, saying "I saw the companionway once - as I went down!" Well done crew on bringing him home!
