Christmas is done and it now time to relax for a few days.
I was lucky enough to spend the last week on the yacht with a nice late night sail from Pitwater to Sydney on Christmas night followed by the start of the Sydney to Hobart on Boxing day.
The start is always fun and as we were positioned near the first mark at the heads, we got great views as the big boats steamed past in the brisk South Easterly wind. A few attempted a spinnaker run up the harbour which made for some extra excitement as they attempted to drop them at the mark before coming on the breeze to exit the heads.Wild Oats 11 was the first out and was absolutely flying along. It amazing what 98ft and 14million dollars of Yacht can do. Currently they look on target to get line honours for the second year running.
