Sydney 7th to 9th July

We are in Sydney!!! Yay!!! We have just done 2 159nm from Albany. Greg and Leisha  phoned us to say they were coming through Spit Bridge on the 10am opening and would see us soon after.
The bridge opens at about 2 hourly intervals on the weekend to let boats in and out of Middle Harbour. It opens during the week as well, but not quite so frequently I think. It was wonderful to see them and have both yachts anchored together at Balmoral. We all went ashore and had brunch and then walked up the steep steps to Middle Head for a view of the main harbour. Great day!





 We have had no problems until the last part of our trip when Peter noticed that the alternator was sporadically overcharging the batteries. He contacted Battery World and was advised to get a new alternator. The old one was 28 years old, so I guess that was a good innings. At the moment we are waiting for the Battery World man to advise us when he will deliver the new alternator to us here.
