Surfing on Sydney Harbour. Bain has rented a Yacht every Wednesday and Friday throughout January (every year) for its employees to go sailing in the evening. The picture isn't faked I was in charge of steering during the whole trip. Isn't as hard as the pulling and winching the others had to do but requires a lot of concentration.
