We are surprisingly undaunted by our recent Sydney-Hobart Start experience and have dived right into the middle of boating madness once again by securing ourselves a spot in Farm Cove next to the Sydney Opera hours to watch the NYE fireworks.
Unfortunately a couple of other people seem to have a similar idea...
It's a little worrying having several hundred boats
anchored within about 15m of each other - let's hope the wind doesn't
swing! But we're in a great spot for the fireworks!
It's been a bit of a washing machine here at anchor since we arrived at about 11am, but that at least it's starting to calm down a little now (5pm). Should get much smoother when the harbour ferries stop and the harbour is closed for business at 8pm...
The (real) entertainment starts shortly...
UPDATE 2/1/2016 - video of anchoring arrangements added below...
I'm sure it was worth the long wait, apart from the washing machine effect!
