Here are some of my photos from the Great Melbourne Paddle. I've got about 150 which i'll download over the next week. Keep checking there may be one of you.
Mike, really great shots. Love the backgrounds, ships, the bridge, yachts. Love the start and the ones of Jacko and Annabelle going in opposite directions. I just don't know how you managed to operate your boat and camera in those conditions. Great work.

Great Images Mike,
Very tough gig in those conditions smokin stuff.
Thank you for suppling the image of Kristi to the Bellarine Paper, she was really stoked.
Regards
Phill and Kristi
Awesome photography Mike!
As DJ said, it depicts how tough it was. I don't think I've ever seen so many paddlers resorting to knee paddling entire upwind legs!
The second photo......is it a pack of lemmings waiting to jump off the cliffs, or perhaps a religious cult with leader Big Dave in the middle on the microphone urging them all on...?
No wonder I came last. I "Stand Up" paddled the whole course. The rest of you are all disqualified!
Those are amazing photos that really capture the rugged conditions.
Heh Mike, they are fantastic photos, great steady camera work, considering when I went past you the front half of your Tinnie was out of the water, If I was behind the camera there would have been lots of shots of either the sky or water.
