Soft breezes on Sydney Harbour on Sunday afternoon for the BMW Sydney Winter series.

The kind of day that a marine photographer might decide to get into the water to liven up the action.

But also the kind of day to be out of the water fast too.

Images from Andrea Francolini, who when his camera was lifted back on board, promised he will be cheering for Australia on Monday night, when the Socceroos play Italy.
