This is our first year of owning a boat and so of course we had to join the hoard of spectators out on Sydney Harbour to watch the popular Sydney to Hobart yaght race.
It was quite a surreal experience sitting in the midst of the action and hearing the boom of the starter gun.
It was the most amazing atmosphere, being surrounded by these immense sailing ships and hearing the crews shouting orders to one another!
We felt as though we were in the race itself....I can not imagine what it must be like to head out through the heads knowing you have days of sailing through trecherous conditions!
Surviving in the harbour alone was enough for us!!!!!
