Sail away

With a fine 30 degrees forecast I got invited to join a friend and his relatives on a sailing trip in Sydney Harbour.
Even though I only sailed once before (in Veerle, Netherlands), I was super-excited.  And the trip far exceeded my every possible expectation and imagination!
Definitely a must-do for anyone who visits Sydney!!!

See this video for a nice impression…
The actual boat we were on looked more like this :

We sailed from Neutral Bay (through a bit of a traffic jam, lots of little racers) away from the city through the green harbour onto the sea past North and South Head cliffs.  Sun shining, beers, sandwiches, nice conversations, birds chirping for fish, no sharks, what more could a girl ask for!  By the time we were heading back, we were all roasting, so we moored in Camp Cove for a little dip, the water was still frrrrrreezing, but oh so clear and refreshing.  I didn’t even bring my swimming gear and still jumped in  🙂

The only thing that was missing was Bram… Well honey, let’s get those sailing lessons sorted 😉
