Day 26: Sailing Around Sydney
June 14th, 2009 by Dylan
On April 24th, I walked a few kilometers around Sydney and across the Harbour Bridge towards McMahons Point, the location of Greg Wilkins’ boat. I had some great views of the harbour and other parts of Sydney.
Greg and a friend share a nice sailboat, and after a few months of repairs, they were ready to transport it to a moor closer to Greg’s place in Manly. We spent several hours touring the harbour and eventually did some light sailing when the winds pick up. I’ve never really sailed, but with only the three of us on board, I was put to use. Tourists were taking our picture from their tour boats which was pretty amusing. Sailing around Sydney provides some excellent views of the Opera House, and sunset at the moor created some really great images as well:
Greg, Jan, and I then had dinner at the (arguably) best pizza place in Sydney at the trendy Manly ferry building. We had a great conversation, and then it was time for me to catch the last ferry across to Circular Quay near my hotel in Sydney.
