We so hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and New Years Eve. Yet again, we were very lucky with a perfect private charter dinner cruise for fourteen people.
There is something very magical about cruising in the dark, the ocean is quiet and the waves lap the side of the boat but you can't see them. You seem to just cut through the water whilst looking at all of the sparkling lights ashore, anticipation mounting.
On New Years Eve, we moor just off the famous Sandy Lane Beach so that we can get a birds eye view of all the West Coast firework displays. It is a true vista that ranges from The Cliff Restaurant to our home at Port St. Charles Marina.
We take an easy cruise up to Sandy Lane, where many boats are already moored waiting. The fireworks barge arrives, slowly, just before midnight and the excitement begins to mount. Each year we wonder if they will make it on time but they always do and then suddenly out of the quiet there is that amazing moment when the sky just explodes in colour and noise. It truly is an amazing way to start a New Year.
