    In case our reaction to sailing under the harbour bridge and seeing the New Years fireworks does not answer the question. Yes it was worth it.

    Sydney is a magic place, I sure miss it, but all the breathtaking beauty is just away from the city, and there are many gorgeous bays tucked away in the Harbour, but just north in Broken Bay is the real gem of the area. Fantastic video guys, sterling job.

    What a great achievement after 2.5 years of Sailing to arrive at Sydney Harbour. You look very accomplised Amy, sailing into Sydney Harbour, with pony tail and baseball hat at 6:12min. lovely shot! NYE at Sidney Harbour would be to stressfull to me, but you tickt it off the list! Well done both off you. Really looking forward to the Great Barriair reef! Wishing for fair winds, from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

    Of course without a doubt it’s worth it. Lived in Sydney for 6 years & had the pleasure of watching NYE fireworks in Sydney from Garden Island (island in the middle of the harbour) and its MAGNIFICENT!! Now in Melbourne & missing Sydney terribly...thanks guys:) My husband & I have a 5 year plan to be on the water full time & Sydney Harbour during NYE on our own boat is definitely on the list. BTW just discovered you two & making my way through your vids. I am hooked. Beautifully put together, prepared & so informative.

    The Sydney Hobart Race start is something else. I was on one of the ferries that followed the race out through the heads. After being out there amongst all the mayhem I wouldn't take my yacht (33ft) out there. Amongst all the power boats a small yacht is just not powerful enough or maneuverable enough to keep it safe. Envious of you in Sydney Harbour, I'll get my boat over there eventually, I'm in WA.

    Sydney around the harbour is very expensive for food.
    Sometimes you get a few good promotions at harbourside restaurants with a drink and meal just either side of peak hours.
    I would also go to Pittwater for some 'quiet' .

    Yes sailing into and around Sydney Harbour is majestic. We watched the 1988 new year fireworks in the little cove off of Luna Park just mind boggling. Especially exciting was the tall ships and reenactment when there was 10 times the amount of boats shown here for the start of the S2H race we had 15 people fending as we were motoring with the flotiler never been in anything like it and most likely never will again. Glad you enjoyed it and you definitely timed it right. You look like another good sailing channel worth like subscribe and bell note. Plus I think with your timing that you have already past my anchorage SE Qld. Cheers.

      @rosewood1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's just Sydney prices. Best Camembert in Australia comes from Tasmania. But none of Australian Camembert is anywhere near as good as the usual provincial French cheese. And this is because of our milk laws which require pasteurized milk. Good milk but not good for some cheese!

      @Roger Rarebit Imported cheeses
      are expensive, but different prices
      all over Australia. Switzerland
      is expensive but our salaries are
      very high depending on ones
      education. I ordered soft
      lenses when in Adelaide. Had
      to pay about AU $400 for them.
      Here in Zurich, for the same
      thing I would pay only about
      AU$ 130. Granted they come
      from Europe but the import
      mark up for imported things
      in AU, I think is horrendous
      Personally when I looked at
      the average standard of living
      and prices in AU, I wonder if
      Australians do not find their
      country too pricey. AU salaries
      are maybe good but not high.

    The Sydney Fish Markets, like most tourism in Australia is designed for the Asian tourists - they seem have plenty of money! There are, however, cheaper options, you just need to know where they are.

    Did you make it into Pittwater / The Hawkesbury River / Cowan Creek? Maybe I am biased but it is truely one of most stunning places in the world to cruise.

      Hi Benjamin, we did spend a few weeks there but as we were so far behind with editing all the video footage we had already taken, we didn't film it. We loved it though.
