Catching the Sydney to Hobart Race on the Water

Posted in Cityscape Photography, PhotographyTagged , , , , , ,

We checked off one of our bucket list items this past weekend, by catching the annual Rolex Sydney to Hobart race. And what better way to do so then on the water? We went out on a 40-foot yacht with East Sail – SO MUCH FUN.

It was really exhilarating to catch the action right up close. There were hundreds of other vessels out on the water, and we were all jockeying for position  to catch the front runners stream out of the harbor. We’d never seen the water so churned up from the mad dash towards the Gap.

After the race, we had the chance to go under sail ourselves around the harbor front. 😀 Good times.
