ORCV Melbourne to Geelong (M2G)


Not likely.


Well if we had No as the previous M2G piece, then the next one just had to be not likely. Didn't it?

Many thanks to Steb Fisher for the use of his images and with that - let's go!

G154M2G10-IV220

We start with Peregrine.

G154M2G10-IV222

G154M2G10-IV223

Yes I agree - second from left in red - it was cold!

G154M2G10-IV225

Time for a tack, I feel.

G3902M2G10-1098

Here comes a Mirage and in the background, as a sort of mirage, is Calm - Div1 winner.

G3902M2G10-IV251

My weight will really add some rake to the rig - really!!!!

G3902M2G10-IV253

No it won't and no it didn't!

S14M2G10-1093

Stu Addison, come on down.

S14M2G10-IV237

We hike so hard we don't have time to race pack a headie - OK?! Got a problem, take it up with someone who cares. Right.

S14M2G10-IV238

Nice 'Steb'!

S14M2G10-IV239

Oh. I just used that line...

S14M2G10-IV240

OK. I got it. Nice smile, then....

S14M2G10-IV241

Serious chance for the new HCOTW, I think.......

S14M2G10-IV242

Land of the headbands - probably Jordan's work... (next to shrouds).

S14M2G10-IV243

Well it had to be hero shot, now didn't it - Nathan Edwards, front and centre.... Arrrrrrrrrgghhhhh I am an old sea dog, me! And what a 'likely' lad he is too!!!!!!!

S37M2G10-1099

Men at Work - go deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Really deep - and the answer will appear.

S54M2G10-1090

Matrix now.

S54M2G10-IV211

Hey. Is doing half the hull, half the price? Must ask the diver......

S54M2G10-IV214

Another 'Steb'.

S54M2G10-IV215

S54M2G10-IV217

Ichi Ban.

Sm178M2G10-IV227

Dennis Hambleton's, Alibi.

Sm178M2G10-IV231

Sm178M2G10-IV233

More Ichi Ban.

Sm5252M2G10-IV256

They point, the scream off the breeze, they're a hoot - has to be a TP. Basil Brush!!!

Actually, about the only time there is a teensy, weency issue, is in the super light, when the big wide tail can get a little gluey. Other than that, it's yee haaaaaaaaaaaaa, all the way.

Sm5252M2G10-IV260

This particular one is our pals from Calm - Jason van der Slot, John Williams, Graeme Ainley, et al.

Sm5252M2G10-IV262

So here

Sm5252M2G10-IV264

Rack 'em, pack 'em and stack em.

Sm5252M2G10-IV265

Great shot - Willow driving.

Sm5252M2G10-IV266

Supreme shot!!!!

Sm5252M2G10-IV267

Pretty cool too.

Sm5252M2G10-IV268

Hike, hike, hike.

Sm5252M2G10-IV269

Sm5252M2G10-IV271

Sm5252M2G10-IV272

Sm5252M2G10-IV273

Big grin from Slotty!!!! Well, they did win - again. So, he deserves to...

Sm5985M2G10-IV244

Inbound with INSX.

Sm5985M2G10-IV245

Sm5985M2G10-IV247

Another crew who found it chilly - which it was!

Sm5985M2G10-IV249

The Lord Warden Trophy winners on their way to the line. What a good way to finish this piece off.


So then, there response has to be, which would be, yes - as in yes we'll do some more.
