'Wild Oats, Lahana (10081) and ICAP Leopard - Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race 2009' Teri Dodds &copy

Victoria Melbourne yachting photographer Teri Dodds flew up to Sydney to see how the other half live today.

As she shook the water off her SLAM RGYC jacket in the media centre after photographing the 2009 Rolex Sydney Hobart start, she was quick to point out, that it was sunny in Melbourne today.

Here are some of Teri's images from today.
