THE BIG SMOKE - Sydney

Sun 20 Feb 2011


Gosford to Rozelle Bay, Sydney
Rip Bridge, here we go again.

Nearly there!

Duck or limbo??
Another hot and glorious day saw us heading for Sydney leaving at 1130 we motored up the channel, much prettier in the sunshine limboing under the Rip Bridge much more slowly against the tide. (Doesn't RIP mean 'rest in peace', interesting!!!!).

Motoring up the channel we noticed Pete's Dragon raise the head sail, a bold move we thought until it turned out it was to get off the mud. As Pete said thanks to Ray Hislop for the advice.


The dodgy green marks near the rocks in the channel were little problem, as little tide was flowing this time, a picnic.

Sun Princess leaving.

South Head
Motor sailing all the way to Sydney Sun Princess was leaving as we rounded North Head, (typical royals we come they go).


The' Coathanger'

Pete's Dragon is coming through - make way!!

Sundowning Annie, Pete and Kate.

Anzac Bridge at twilight.

Twilightier Anzac Bridge

Good night Sydney.
We met up with Pete's Dragon at Watsons Bay and headed down Sydney Harbour to Rozelle Bay for a comfortable and free overnight anchorage under the Anzac Bridge.

The cooler conditions were welcomed for a good nights sleep.
