START OF THE 2010 SYDNEY - HOBART YACHT RACE



Moonraker (crewed by Dean, Ken, Mary and me) is one of the little dots  top right of screen, very close to stream of traffic.
 We were in the anchor zone in Obelisk Bay with 100 boats stampeding past, all trying to keep up with the super-maxies(centre screen). Horns tooting, crews shouting, wakes tossing us around, and boats often skilfully swerving to miss us.  We stood our ground, having no other choice!  But wow, what fun.  Exhilarating experience.  (Still from video on official Syd-Hobart race site)
