4 yachts set sail on Good Friday bound for Pittwater. Sanctum looked resplendent as she carried her spinnaker and Ra Ra, Eternity and Viking III had to contend with motor sailing under benign conditions.
We settled into America Bay and made plans to visit Dangar Island on Easter Saturday. It was the first time any of us had stepped ashore and what a discovery it was.
After lunching at a café by the ferry wharf, our group walked around the island, and gained an insight to what a charming community it is that lives there.
The afternoon nor-easter started to pick up, and our group enjoyed a beautiful sail back to America Bay on Sanctum.
Easter Sunday saw the flotilla move to Towlers Bay, where we all collected on Eternity and motored to RMYC for a great lunch.
The group returned to Sydney harbour on Easter Monday with a beautiful nor-easter behind us, which grew from 10 knots at Barrenjoey to 20 knots as we rounded North Head.
The weekend was so much fun. The great friendship, our mutual love for sailing and absolutely gorgeous weather provided the elements for a really wonderful Easter.
