The Rip Bar

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ I know this sign at the Portsea Hotel, Mornington Peninsula may seem a little "dubious"!
However, its real meaning has geographical innocence.
The Rip is the name of the opening from Port Phillip Bay out to Bass Strait.
And the Portsea Hotel is not far from there.

This Way Thurs-Way #24

From bay to sea worlds
Narrow rough stretch of water
The Rip means challenge
