Jacob takes a selfie with the Queen

Yesterday we took the train and went to Madame Tussauds. Madame Tussauds is a wax museum located near Darling Harbour and it shares a building with Sea Life and Wild life. Jacob being Jacob stole my phone and took a selfie with the queen.

It was cool to see Tim Cahill, but for me, I loved seeing Tony Stark's heart. Tony Stark, for those who aren't super hero fans, is Iron Man.

Today we left Cronulla and arrived at Rushcutter Bay. We are staying at the Cruising Yacht club of Australia. I find it interesting because this club started the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race in 1945. Nowadays its a popular marina for racing yachts. Something really surprised me when we were sailing in. Bondi beach is made out to be some great amazing beach that represents Australia, and it's so short, compared to the beaches I've seen so far. According to Jacob they have 40,000 visitors on the beach at one time. How?

I have a tip for those of you new to sailing, we have different versions of left and right. Left is Port, and left is also the colour red, as a buoy it's a red floating object with a red square on the top. You can remember port by the saying; No more port left in the bottle, port is wine and so red. Right is Starboard, and the colour green, as a buoy, it's a floating green object with a green cone on the top. This is as your going into a marina, if your leaving one, the colours are swapped, the green buoy should be on your left and the red should be on your right.

While we were sailing in, we managed to get a few tourist style shots of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

I enjoy sailing but a thing that annoys me is if I'm not feeling sick I'm feeling sleepy, so I end up sleeping most of the trip and feeling really unproductive when I get up, as well as guilty for not being able to help. Today I was determined not to fall asleep, I stayed awake longer than I usually do but nope, I fell asleep. So I'm trying to find methods that help keep me awake and I'll share them here if I ever find any. Oh yeah, and I'm learning how to use chopsticks.
