Inside look at a Sydney to Hobart Racing Yacht

My good friend, Nicola, took these wonderful photos earlier this year during The Sydney to Hobart yacht race.  It was so cool to be able to see inside the boats.  As I said in my earlier post, they were very much made for speed rather than comfort!!

And here is Team Garmin out on the actual race.  It was a thrilling start.

Catching up with Andreas

We tucked into our usual fare of Pork Belly and Weissbier.  God, it was good!

Catching up with Roger at The Oaks

Roger was in Sydney for business. It's always such a delight to catch up.

Saying goodbye to Philip at Tuesday night Eckhart group

Philip is moving to Victoria.  So sad.  We'll all miss him a lot, especially his wonderful sense of humour.

The view of the full moon rising from Jilly's flat was beautiful. Hard to capture though.

Nightly walk through Waverton

Berowra Valley NP walk: Thornleigh to Hornsby

This was another wonderful hike with beautiful, water sculptured rocks.  It was a hot day but well worth the effort.  It was especially lovely to meet up with Chrisèl again who I met on a hike in Sept 2013 and felt a great sense of connection with.

     

Royal National Park (Otford to Figure of Eight Pools via Burning Palms)

Wow, this was a seriously gorgeous hike.  A great bunch of people too.  All in all, a wonderful day.

A new trick to teach Mack! Don't you just love Jack Russells

Mack now immortalised in a work of art

I'm so excited about this!  Thanks mum for such a wonderful gift.
