News for November 2010
Jot Down Your Name
|
Next time you're passing the notice board at the club, you'll notice two lists on display. Both have been posted in order to get an idea of how many members and friends will be attending the two End of Year functions that are being organized. There's the Christmas BBQ on December the 7th and the New Year's Eve Bash on December 31st of course. So if you plan on attending both or either of these events, please add your name as soon as you can. |

Neat EYE in the SKY
 |
Those familiar with Google Earth or Maps will no doubt have checked out their boat and the Island from time to time. A recent service called Nearmap presents not only one high quality satellite image but a number of them. Currently 7 images ranging from Oct 2oth this year back to Nov 2009 are available for the Island. Very interesting. |
The Secret's Out
 |
It's taken a few weeks for us to get the photographic evidence of Karen and Clydes well kept secret but finally here's a shot to prove it. A few club members discovered the news just prior to the big day last month but generally it's been kept pretty quiet. In any case Congratulations to the happy couple. |
Making News
|
Members living close to Mordialloc who read the local newspaper or check it on-line will no doubt have seen the articles regarding the Mordialloc Creek Community. For those that haven't seen them tough - its worth a look. |

Killing Time
|
Wonderful setting isn't it. Calm & surreal ... until you work out what's really happening. After a pleasant outing, the Chapman's found on there return that they could get no-where near their mooring. Now it was a case of killing time until the water came up ! |
 |
Around the Island
 |
There's always something going on around the Island and a few shots have come in to prove it. |
Weather Watch
 |
After a few years absence a new Weather Station has been installed at the club. Funds to buy the new unit came from the Sailing Group, who've been keen to have current conditions available at the club for some time. The display screen is located in the briefing room and it's hoped that an internet version will soon be available here on the web site. |

$6 Million for the Creek
 |
Six million dollars to clean up Mordi Creek was promised by the state opposition leader Ted Baillieu when he addressed a group from the Mordi Creek Community on Saturday morning. |
Not Always to Plan
| The great thing about having a boat on a mooring is that you can just wander down, start her up and head out for a day on the water. Well most times you can ! |  |
Done it Before
 |
In a story a little further down the page you'll see that this years winner of the Aggregate was Mark Holter and crew aboard Silver Cloud. Well this shot proves that it isn't the first time they've won. A photo of the whole family back in the very early 90's has been found when they won aboard a boat called Mutineer. |
Melbourne to Stanley (or there abouts)
|
