Sunrises, sunsets, kayaking and other adventures
On Wednesday, Laura, whose kayaking business, Sydney by Kayak, I'd guided and taken photographs for, tagged me in an article that made the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald. Render from Zaha Hadid Architects of the Western Sydney Airport On the rendering of the spiffy new Western Sydney Airport was a familiar picture: of three …

Our friends Garry and Linh tied the knot last weekend in Sydney. It was the perfect excuse to make the trip back for a visit. Just a long weekend, coming right off the heels from our Greenland vacation. As always, we jumped on the chance to hit the water for a spot of kayaking. Just …
We'd the opportunity to spend a week in Sydney. Work during the day, catch ups with friends over meals in the evening. And on the weekends, we did what we loved best in Sydney - exploring the outdoors. Our original plan to kayak the first Sunday we were back was scuttled due to gusty winds …
My new job is with a company headquartered in Sydney, so I had the good fortune to return for a visit 3 months after leaving. 🙂 One of the first things I did was to schedule in time on the water. On the weekends, I went out paddling on the inner harbour, lousy spring weather …

They have a stupendous view, not just of the iconic Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge, but also of the length of the Sydney Harbor, packed with sailboats anchored all along the …
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 …

We couldn't have asked for a lovelier sunrise on Christmas Eve. Great clouds led to a long and sustained orange sky. Such a peaceful way to greet the morning. After, Lisa, Jeff and I headed up to Manly for a Manly to Shelly swim. This time last year, we had just set as our 2017 …
