As you embark your 40ft vessel you get a feeling of instant opulence and luxury. Cruising up Darling Harbour we shortly turn towards the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge, completed in 1932 and is the largest steel arch bridge in the world. The Opera House is upon us and offers the perfect place to take some photographs. Continuing our adventure we dodge the ferries leaving and entering Circular Quay and see the Rocks, birthplace of British settlement and where convict labor constructions are easily visible. Continuing past Farm Cove and Mrs. Macquaries Chair on our right and Fort Denison on the left which was constructed on Rock Island originally an area for prisoners where they were left with only bread and water to survive on.
Turning towards Rushcutter's Bay hoping to catch a glimpse of a famous resident such as Tom Cruise or Nicole Kidman, we hoist the sails and turn the engine off, depending on the weather and wind conditions we set our course. Sailing past the traditionally wealthy suburbs of Sydney viewing the spectacular private homes at Darling Point, Point Piper and Vaucluse and the national parks of Clarke and Shark Islands. We cruise by Watsons Bay and Camp Cove. A little further up the coast is Lady Bay, Sydney's official nudist beach which regardless of the weather always seems to be someone there.
We settle down to enjoy a delicious lunch of prawns, sushi, chicken, ham, salad, pasta, bread. With a glass of Australian wine and beer, relaxation takes over and a desert of fruit and cheese makes it almost impossible to leave. You have an opportunity to disembark at Rushcutter's Bay to view the million dollar boats and a short stroll to Double Bay; famous for it's ritzy shops and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Once everyone has indulged, we head for home under sail and soaking up the sun and fresh air.
