Even the landlubbers had to admit the conditions were perfect for the great race, with a westerly breeze promising a spectacular flying spinnaker start down the world's greatest harbour. With one ear on the cricket and
Warnie's quest for history, and all eyes on the harbour, it was a picture perfect boxing day in
Seeeedneey.
Watson's Bay, the perfect spot to catch the sun and the race, and if you're lucky, a beach babe.
Looking back west towards the city from the picturesque heights of the South Head. In the background the 78 strong fleet jockeys for position awaiting the starter's gun - actually they don't because Rock's paranoia about missing a prime viewing spot required a 2 hour stakeout...
Cap'n Jack Sparrow keeps the crowd entertained prior to the big start. Unfortunately
Kiera doesn't seem to be
on board.
And they're away! The mighty super maxis lead the fleet off the line, in what was apparently one of the fastest start in the race's storied history.

You guys are certainly keeping busy this Christmas, what with beaches and babes and barbeques and boats. Meanwhile, out here in the provincial Hills District, the big news items are that Lauren was stung by a bee (and doesn't seem to have inherited her parents excessive allergic reactions), and that Coco the cat has managed to lose her collar.
Sounds like the plot for next week's episode of Home and Away...
