After some slow progress up the coast of Eastern Australia, we finally sailed into Sydney Harbour on Saturday morning to the spectacular sight of; first the Sydney Harbour Bridge and then the Opera House.
We arrived to the clapping of the Team Mission Performance supporters club (my Dad) and cold drinks at Rushcutters Bay, the home of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, then straight down to deep clean the boat and checking in for the next 12 nights at a local hotel as our boat will be lifted out of the water for a jet wash and a coat of anti fouling on her underside. The night before last we had the Prize Giving ceremony at the hotel in which we finished 8th! (Our best position yet!) and then last night we had our crew meal at the yacht club.
So far I have only had chance to have a quick trip to see the Opera House, 'The Bridge' and the Royal Botanical Gardens, as I have been doing a lot of unfortunate sail repairing on 'Bruce' outside in the sun. With this hot climate it doesn't feel like Christmas at all to me! Once I have finished sail repairing tomorrow I will be able to have more free time to see the rest of the sights.
