New Years Eve 2015, Sydney
Harbour, Australia
 Not long after breakfast and the best view from the zoo grounds began to
fill.
    Boats were
arriving all day enjoying the sunshine. We had five little day cruisers
between us and the shore by the zoo. As we swung in line with our neighbours we
had comfortable spaces all around Beez and that was the way it stayed,
no worries at all.
  We had late
lunch of avocado, prawns, salad and a glass of rose. Out in the cockpit
the skipper tested the first of the strawberry
daiquiris. If I say it myself, it was a remarkable blend in the cocktail ball.
Two punnets of strawberries, strawberry topping and a litre of vodka on
ice.......Marvelous, best have another one........or
two. Yesterday when we arrived we renamed Bradleys Head
to Baileys Head as we polished off a half a bottle of Baileys.......Well it slipped down so easily. I better have a third, I’m getting
the taste for this stuff. Oh dear, I’ll have another as
well........
  We had the Police
helicopter overhead and one for Seven
News.
 Marine Rescue NSW
and a couple of Police ribs circling the
harbour.
  The Water Taxi and
Seaducer – the ice cream man.
  The first display
plane and one of the last chaps to leave
Sydney before flights were stopped overnight
  The advertising
airship and the second display of the
day.
  The chaps
did really well.
   We had so looked
forward to the fire tug water display at seven
o’clock – not seen one since our time in New York, but sadly, he didn’t come far
enough toward us or we could have seen him through the gap along from us. Never
mind, we could make out what he was doing through all the
masts.
 It looked like he
was washing the Sydney Opera
House.
 Some had an excellent
view.
 Finally, we could see
him.
   Loved
it.
 Just a
wow.
 Sunset over Sydney
CBD.
 Eight o’clock
display.
 Lights all
about.
   Beez
tree went on, the lights
of a near neighbour and lit balloons on our next door
neighbour.
 All ready for the
fireworks.
 All eyes toward Sydney Harbour
Bridge.
ALL IN ALL SUCH A MEMORABLE
DAY
GREAT FUN AND A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE |
