We have arrived...!!!
 
Had a slow night creeping along towards the entrance to the harbour (the 'Sydney Heads') timing our approach with the sunrise - it was more than worth it. Another stunning cloudless sky, with very little wind the temperatures were soon well into the 20s. Jem was at the south head to take some pictures of us on our way into the main harbour - quite an effort having only got to bed at about 3! (these Sydneysiders!)
 
Did the obligatory tour past the opera house and under the bridge before turning back and finding our berth at the Cruising Yacht Club - home of the Sydney - Hobart race. This place is packed with racing yachts, many of which are Sydney 38's - just like Logic, but a bit smaller and newer. Strange suddenly to see so many similar yachts.
 
It is still slowly sinking in. We've been organising a few things - showers, laundry (all the usual) and now basking in some Bondi sunshine in Ewan's new flat (thanks Jem!) soaking up the feeling and no doubt an Aussie beer or two...
