A slightly bigger boat visiting today. The P & O cruise ship “Pacific Jewel” is visiting Port Lincoln today. It is on a 5 day cruise from Sydney to Adelaide where it will finish tomorrow. It carries about 2000 passengers and 500 to 600 crew.

The first 2 yachts got in just after 9 this morning, first over the line was “Secretmensbusiness” followed by “Scarlet Runner” half an hour later. As it was very calm this morning and overnight no records were broken this year and the front runners were disappointed with the time.

Here are a few pictures:
