Land Ahoy!

Summer is starting to wind down, and I’ve been finding it more and more difficult to wake up early enough to go for a run before work. I did manage to get moving this morning, and decided to follow the path along the Esplanade to see the sun come up over the ocean. As I rounded a bend, there were at least 100 people gathered around (at six in the morning!) and I saw a stranded fishing boat right near the shore. Apparently the crew is Indonesian, and all escaped unharmed, but I’m a little unsure how they managed to get stuck there. 

The surfers just went on about their business. There were five rescue boats trying to get it free (it was high tide when I was out) but apparently they haven't had any luck so far. According to the Sydney Morning Herald the rescue effort hasn't been too impressive:
