Squeeeeeeze under! Quite a sight ...
I notice you've sailed by the 60,000 milestone. Fun to share, truly a community here.

However there is an optical illusion at play in this photo.
The ship reversed from the Overseas Passenger Terminal into mid-harbour and close to
the Sydney Harbour Bridge (but some distance from the traffic deck of the Bridge) pointing
down the Harbour & thence to the open sea. So quite controlled and no squeeze !
Btw, 88,000 views now, which isn't the point, because as you said, Its the community !!
