Only 630 miles to go!

A wave from one of the crew of the "Ariel" as they leave the bay. One of the 94 yachts competing in the Sydney to Hobart blue water classic race which started at 1pm and takes just under two days for the fastest super yachts, but quite a lot longer for the smaller yachts like Ariel. Poor weather has been forecast for the race so my wishes go out to them for a safe and speedy voyage.

A rather grainy shot I'm afraid. Still trying to get used to my new Sony Nex 6 and very big lens (that's as technical as I get for now)
