The location
In the ocean near St Kilda Pier
Who Went?
Joannac
myka
myka recieved a suggestion that he should go to the hash today from joannac, who happened to be going to Melbourne.
He was going to ride down, since he thought that this would likely be the only riding he would get done over the Easter Long Weekend, however the Melbourne weather, which had looked nice during the morning, had gloomified and was threatening to rain as he prepared to set out. Not wanting to end up with a wet ride home, he decided to drive his newly purchased automobile to S St Kilda instead.
He did so. It was good. Unfortunately, for a day when everything was expected to be closed for religious reasons, the was quite a bit of activity in the St Kilda Pier area, and parking was, while not excessively hard to find, not cheap.
Also, the Melbourne Weather decided to play the tricksy on myka, and the sun came out shortly after he left, making it a rather pleasant day which would have been ideal for riding.
myka was running a few minutes late, but after finding an ATM and somewhere to break a note into change that the parking ticket machine would accept, he wandered up to the pier.
He found a Joannac there, doing crosswords.
There followed a stroll out to the middle of the pier, a discussion about which section of the pier would actually be closest to the hash point, and the discovery that there was a gate blocking access to the outer half of the breakwater, which would have been the appropriate place to have strolled to.
Unwilling to brave the ocean, there was instead some sitting on rocks and looking at the view done. This was followed by a stroll back along the pier to the beach, where there were many kites which would have been unreasonably expensive. There was also a wander through Luna Park, and a debate about its excitingness, both currently and in the past. There was also a thin and slightly odd lighthouse, and a number of possibly kite-surfing kites; however, neither of these were more than looked at from a distance. Many people were out enjoying the weather and the public holiday, and only one was braving the water.
Eventually there was an ending of parking allowances, so both myka and Joanna had to take their cars and move on.
This was almost a no-trespassing hash, but was really more of a no-being-silly-by-jumping-in-the-ocean hash, so the ribbon is not really appropriate.
