The gangway drops and the harbour air—salt, diesel, and the faint clink of glasses—meets you as the MV Sydney 2000 slips away from King Street Wharf. Lights from the foreshore smear into reflected gold while the floodlit sails of the Sydney Opera House and the lattice of the Harbour Bridge slide by like punctuation in a moving picture.
