Today was a glorious day to be out sailing, and seeing as we don’t have a boat to be out in, the next best thing was to watch the yachts leave in the Sydney to Hobart race. A crowd had gathered in the park next to the harbour entrance, and the boats were setting off just as we arrived. Helicopters were flying around, and a small flotilla of craft crowded around the racing boats (at least what looked to be the racing boats) and followed them down the coast. There was also a sky-writer who kindly wrote my name in the sky (until he messed it up by writing some more), and the best bit was 2 dolphins jumping out of the sea below us!
