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...
