NYE on Sydney Harbour - in the thick of it

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...

  1. I'm sure it was worth the long wait, apart from the washing machine effect!
