Twilight Sailing

Managed to hitch a ride on my friend's yacht for an evening sailing experience.

5pm:
Set off from the Aquarama marina. Surrounding was still bright.
Meet my fellow crew

6pm:
Sailed upstream along Swan River... from north Fremantle all the way to Narrows Bridge.
Along the way, we met this cuboid-looking thing floating around...
At a closer look, there's pple on it!

At an even closer look, it is actually a 2-story floating restaurant. We can see tables, chairs and a bar counter through the glass walls.

Its called the Crystal Swan!View of narrows bridge from the river.

7pm:
Thursday is the twilight sailing day at several yacht clubs... You can see many other sailboats along the river.
This is the view of Perth city during sunset. You can even see the moon.
It slowly gets darker...
and darker....

8pm:
Berthed at Royal Perth Yacht Club for a BBQ dinner

9.30pm:
Started sailing back towards Aquarama marina.
Its completely dark by now...

11pm:
Arrived back at Aquarama marina..
Packed up the boat,
and off I go home to sleep. What a tiring day sailing : )


Here's the route we took today.
