Subject: RE: OZ Foray from Maine & Guam-Late November
I didn't get rained on today! That is the first time since I left Port Douglas! However, Charley took me over to Manley on the ferry and the salt spray stood in for the rain.

Sydney has a fun ferry ride. The boat has to cross the entrance to the harbor and rolls broadside through the swells coming in from outside. I saw another ferry roll up a significant amount of bottom paint and when we returned over that same route I could see why. The spray came in over the bow and soaked us where we sat.

So, technically, I have once more been wetted as I visit Sydney. Maybe they should send me out west where the drought is giving them problems. One day out there and they'd have all the rain they wanted.
