Today is Australia Day, the official national day of Australia, commemorating the establishment of the first European settlement on the continent of Australia. The date is that of the foundation of a British penal colony at Sydney Cove on Port Jackson, New South Wales, by Captain Arthur Phillip, who was to become the first Governor.
We spent the day on a yacht in Sydney Harbour, one of our friends chartered 3 yachts for the day. The weather was the best we had in weeks so we had a wonderful day with lots of food and drinks.
Our ship were Hunter 38 and 44 yachts.
The famous Ferry-a-thon, a race between ferry boats
Of course there was time for a swim during the time we anchored for lunch.
