Hot day ahead. Possibly the smoke will keep the temperature down a little. The pictures were taken this morning here in McCarrs Creek. Looks like fog but it’s smoke! Quiet day on board.

Quick motor sail yesterday from Sydney Harbour to Broken Bay ( America Bay ). In Morning Bay tonight and in the general area for a while. It’s very calm and quiet. Lucy is still covered in red

The wild Sydney storms passed us once again to the north and south. Just a few gusts and a patch of rain. Thinking about heading north to Broken Bay in the next few days. There was a twilight yacht

Stunning clouds with storms to the north of us. Cooling down at last. All is well.

In an effort to reclaim some small level of fitness we walked into Lane Cove. Nice view of the city as we strolled home. Very wealthy area and as such a distinct lack of laundromats. Grotty yachty !

Spooky sunrise

Up at sparrows this morning to beat the heat. Quick shop then a motor back to Lane Cove. Windy day so stayed on board. All is well.

Busy day today collecting spare parts for Lucy. Hired a “car next door”, to run about in. Sydney traffic is madness for folks like us who usually only travel at 5 knots. Still had time to enjoy 3

I’ve probably said it a few times now but the public transport system here is fantastic. Operation “find Kerosene”, was successful. Bus to bus to bus. Easy. Picture is of the nice little parkland

Warm day, awning up! Back to Blackwattle today and a grocery top up. It gets busy here Friday-Monday so we were lucky to find a spot for Lucy. It’s only a small area that we are allowed to anchor in

Wild Oats putting the hard word on Lucy!

Now that the wind has eased the city has filled with smoke from the NSW fires. The Beaver Moon tonight won’t be so bright with all the smoke. 37 degrees tomorrow, a rough day for firefighting.

Back in Blackwattle Bay. We are feeling like locals here, leaving Kabbage at the pontoon, walking to our favourite shops and hopping on and off the local buses. Sat out a south westerly blow

Back to Sydney today. Wild Oats crossed our bow near the Bridge, we are putting in a protest. They probably have some flimsy excuse like trying to avoid colliding with the ferry that was on our port

Slowly recovering from the Wooden Boat Festival. Nice quiet time in America Bay. Back to Sydney soon. All is well aboard.

RMYC Timber Boat Festival Fun and busy time at the festival. We had many interesting people on board and visited several lovely timber boats. We were even lucky enough to have a professional blue

Left Lucy yesterday at the yacht club to enjoy the lovely Timber boats arriving for the festival this weekend while we went into the Big smoke ( literally) to obtain our USA visas. Over the Sydney

Magic day. Went over to RMYC Pittwater for fuel and water this morning. Had a quick look around as the Wooden Boat Festival is here this weekend. Impressive club with very friendly staff. Looking
