Two of the big boats - Clay's Ferry - and Sam's 'Asama'
(with Keith on board helping) - left before New Year's Eve to make the short day
trip to Sydney Harbour for the fireworks show - and to get in position in the
Harbour early. The rest of us stayed here - only about 10 miles away
'as the seagull flies' - and whilst the fireworks are not going off over
your head - we still get a pretty good view.
So it came to be, that a small crowd gathered aboard our yacht
- where there is room to fit everyone comfortably around the big cockpit - and
enjoy some drinks, conversation, and see the distant show - and here are the
photos from . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It was starting to get pretty crowded back there.
Thank you Penny - I DO know how to take photos.
Is this one better?
A 'painted' portrait I did for his sister.
And Nature provided us with her
own light show again.
Ssssooo - you may ask - Where are the fireworks? -
well I didn't even try to take a photo, because a nice breeze had come up -
which helped keep the sky clear and good viewing - but we were moving about a
little - and the show was a fair way off. There was little chance of
getting any long distance shots in focus - so you'll just have to make do with
the one at the top.
But as you can see it was a good gathering aboard -
and a pleasant visit from all around.
Well this is turning into quite a large email -
even by our standards - what with all the photos and these fireworks animations
- so we'll finish up - and as usual - say . . . . .
bye for now
from your
friends
