Accession
Swapping Old for New
The Queen Elizabeth II came in this morning, again at 6:30am, though did not sound her horn sufficiently insistently for us to fully wake up in time. So we didn't see her come in (though we did see the wake of smaller boats following her). She was moored near Fort Dennison all day.
Later, she moved towards Circular Quay, just visible past our window, making room for the exit of her successor.
This is the Queen Victoria leaving, accompanied by an incredible number of smaller boats and lots of helicopters. We've never seen the harbour this full.
