The full crew had arrived from Brisbane and it was fantastic to see everyone come down for our first NYE in Sydney. It was a great day and night! To kick of festivities a it was very light winds so a gentle motor up to the basin for food and drinks and swimming off the boat.

We had some of our freinds and family arrive a few days early for New Year in Sydney and took the opportunity for a quick run out and around Lion Island. It was a really great day and I think we managed to convert a couple of people into keen sailors.

Following on from the "Buying our first boat" post we had bought a boat, the next step was to get back up to Lake Maqcuarie, jump on High Anxiety and bring her back home. As is generally the way, things were not quite that straightforward. Firstly Lake Macquarie is around 2 hours drive and 6 - 7 hours by ocean from where we live at Church Point.
