DescriptionThe 22-footer SECRET is sailing down Harbour towards Kirribilli Point in a rising Nor'Easter. The number of crew aboard means that this is a picnic day, where boats would take a full complement to a Harbour beach where much alcohol was consumed. It would have been an interesting return trip if the Nor'Easter continued to build as is likely (IS).
