Winter Adventures 

There is plenty going on with our Safety Beach boats that are escaping the Melbourne Winter.
 
Phil and Lana on Luna Sea have made it to the Gold Coast and from all reports had a great trip and are now enjoying their winter home.
 
After much waiting in Coffs Harbour and a few last minute maintenance items to deal with Team Tumi with Jeff, Jen and Jacqui on board finally departed from Coffs Harbour on Tuesday morning for the trip out to New Caledonia.  They were even given a Police Escort to make sure they left!!  Summer Lovin with Brian, Paul, Rob and John on board departed Wednesday morning.  
 
The trip out to Noumea is almost 900NM and should take them around 6 to 7 days for the passage.  We wish them all a safe and comfortable trip and sure they will be looking forward to a touch of France in the Pacific when they arrive.  To follow their progress go to:

Closer to home Vincitore with Peter, Bruce, Tim and Muzz on board departed Martha Cove this morning and are heading north to Hamilton Island where they will be representing SBSC in this year's Hamilton Island Race week.  For those keen to do a bit of AIS stalking you can follow them on Marine Traffic (http://www.marinetraffic.com/)

ORCV News 

The ORCV DYSC Marine Supplies Winter Series is fast approaching, with Race 1 kicking-off on Saturday 22 June. We’ve already received entries from 8 boats and look forward to some great competition across all bay clubs. 
 
Our Safety and Sea Survival courses (full course + refresher) will shortly sell-out. With the full course being a prerequisite for ocean racing and an Australian Sailing affiliated program, and the refresher course being required every five years, now is a great time for sailors to brush-up on their skills and achieve certification. In addition to racing, the courses also offer great insight for sailing and cruising. Please encourage your members to register as soon as possible to avoid missing out. 
 
New for 2024 is the ORCV’s Weather for Sailors online course, with the first module starting on Thursday 13 June. The Weather for Sailors course is designed to inform all types and levels of sailors about how to observe weather conditions and how to find the right forecasting advice from the vast array of modern resources available. 
  
And finally, the team at ORCV in conjunction with Sandringham Yacht Club has been busy coordinating our first Marine Safety Expo to be held on Sunday 21 July with a full program of speakers now ready.  We’ve attached a larger A4 poster if you wish to put this on your notice boards around the club. 
 
As always, our full calendar of events can be found here: https://www.orcv.org.au/calendar
