Position: Port of call: Sydney -Sept. 11, 2000

Seaquell has arrived in Sydney!! This is the most brilliant port that we have seen since starting our venture. It is deep, well developed and the city is built around the ports activities. Many ferries are used extensively for transportation to work and pleasure from the many sections of the city. It is a city that has developed around the harbor with a fantastic skyline of modern high-rise commercial buildings within walking distance to the ferries that serve the 65 bay. It was a beautiful view as we arrived sailing into the harbor under the famed Sydney Harbor Bridge. The five Olympic rings had been added to the center of the bridge.

The outstanding sight was the Sydney Opera House. It is located near the bridge and is the focal point of the city waterfront. The opera house is one of the most unusual and uniquely designed buildings in the world. Each city has its renowned buildings but none more memorable than the Sidney opera house. It was most exciting as we sailed past and will remain one of our unforgettable memories.

We were well received into our dockage and are ready to enjoy all the wonderful parts of Sydney as well as the Olympics.
