Description: An unexpected easterly blew in shortly before Carnival Splendor was due to undock from Sydney's Overseas Passenger terminal. Very sorry about the wind noise. Ships berthed at the OPT have to reverse back into the mainstream in front of the Harbour Bridge and then turn about, generally with the aid of a tug at the stern, before making their way down harbour to the sea.
