This photo was taken today (on my Nokia smartphone) for Jennifer’s One Word Photo Challenge: Lemon. I was busy cleaning (at work) when Mr R reminds me that the Lake Eppalock Gold Cup is on this weekend. He insists I come into the other room where he could see a boat from a window. So, grudgingly, I do and am glad I did. I’m amazed. I imagined I was about to see an oversized sleek speedboat, not something shaped like a spacecraft. And then, something about it hits me. Lemon, the boat is lemon! Perfect for Jennifer’s challenge.
After looking at the Victorian Speed Boat Club’s website, I find this ‘boat’ is called HBR, and is a 1.6lt Hydroplane, with a 1.6lt Toyota Twin Cam Engine.
I nearly settled for showing you wattle again, from earlier in the year.

That looks like quite the vehicle! Definitely lemon. 🙂

Definitely looks like it should be hovering in the air, not skimming the waves

Lovely lemon, I hope it isn’t a lemon though! 🙂

LOL. It won at Glenmaggie recently, but sounds like it only happened because the top boat damaged a pontoon. 😀

Great choice, but I bet it’s not really a l.e.mo.n. in the water, right? (lemon here means it doesn’t work 100%, is corrupted in some way) 😀 😀 😀

That other sort of lemon means the same here, too, Tess – something that keeps on breaking down from the day it was made, usually a car. 😀

I love the look of it, but not enough to bother going to the boat racing. 🙂
