Twilight Entertainment at Broken Bay

27 November 2015 | Broken Bay/Cronulla (NSW)
As we sailed south from Pittwater, we resisted the temptation to go into Sydney Harbour. Instead we continued on to Broken Bay (Cronulla), about 15 n miles further south, just past Botany Bay. It was our first time there, and a friend had cautioned us to follow the leads closely as we went in. It was good advice, as the channel was really shallow, with barely enough room to pass an oncoming boat (although the small ferry that powered past with about an inch to spare didn't seem at all concerned). Aiming for a zero dollar day, we anchored in the Gunnamatta Bay mooring field. Our timing and placement were both good, as the local twilight race had just started, and we were anchored just below the bottom mark. We set ourselves up on deck, glass of wine in hand, all set for the free entertainment. We were duly treated to lots of interesting mark roundings, and one collision. The race boats tacked right through the mooring field (as per the J24 in the picture).
