Sydney Harbour Cruise

Well, we had just had a week of rain but Saturday 1st December dawned bright and sunny, perfect weather for a cruise on Sydney Harbour. The bus began picking up passengers in Oak Flats at about 1:45 pm and picked people up along the Princes Highway through to Thirroul, before heading up Bulli Pass en route to Sydney. We stopped in Corrimal to purchase refreshments for the journey and had an uneventful trip up, even though Lee noticed the bus temperature control was stuck on high. He mentioned this to Bernie the driver, but he seemed unconcerned and we didn’t break down, so all good because I would have had a hard time stopping Lee from doing bus repairs in his good clothes. 

We arrived in Sydney at about 4:30 pm and didn’t need to meet the boat until 5:45 pm, so we had just over an hour to fill in. People went their separate ways looking for coffee shops or bars and enjoying relaxing. 

When it was time to meet the boat everyone had arrived even those who didn’t catch the bus up so everything ran smoothly and we were on our way sailing by 6 pm. The weather remained perfect, the scenery was great, the food and service on the boat were awesome and the company was exceptional making the night great fun. The cruise finished at 10 pm and we returned to the bus for the journey home. 

The bus trip home was significantly quieter than the trip up and we even diverted to Wollongong to drop off the younger members to continue partying in town. Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate another successful club year and Merry Christmas to all.
