Wild Oats the Race Winner

After Christmas in Hobart, the Waterfront becomes crowded with people involved with or watching for the entrants of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race to come in. We saw the winner sailing past the lighthouse near our house early in the morning, and then close up at the water front. The boating enthusiasm is easy to catch and we went on a boat ourselves. A replica of 'The Lady Nelson' from the late 1800s. I don't know anything about boats, but the differences between a Yacht such as Wild Oats and the Lady Nelson both of which have cross the same Ocean ways was apparent even to my eyes. I am sure both were thrilling, although the Lady Nelson took weeks to do what the Wild Oats did in 36 hrs.
