Ricky's harbour cruise (8th June '07)

Congratulations DOCTOR Ricky Syna

As you may be aware, we've had some pretty poor weather here for the Queen's Birthday long weekend which meant that it wasn't really possible to get out and do anything. There's a large slick of effluent heading our way from the Central Coast as well. The Hunter Valley was badly flooded over the last few days and its all oozing out to sea. This is going to knock the snorkeling out for a couple of weeks probably.

On Friday night, however, against all the odds we headed out onto the harbour in a boat for Ricky's graduation cruise. A couple of ferry services had already been suspended due to wharves blowing down or being flooded but that didn't stop us getting out there in the pouring rain to celebrate with Ricky.

In the end it wasn't too bad actually and I was quite surprised to see all the reported damage to buildings and stuff next morning when the time we spent on the water was rather pleasant. Anyway, here are a couple of (very edited!) pictures from the night kindly provided by James "Colly" McTurk.

Drat, guess I will have to wait until the weather gets better before I can see pictures of the Dane in his wetsuit.
