<<<Sydney, Australia - An estimated 1.3 million people are expected to turn out in Sydney for the A$15 million fireworks display to end the 20th century, and more than 5,000 recreational boats and at least 300 charter vessels are likely to pack the harbor. A government spokesman said the inner harbor would "resemble a parking lot" with so many vessels out for the celebration. Thousands of Sydneysiders, at least those who don't own boats, are up in arms over a state government decision to cancel harbor ferries on New Year's Eve. The government has decided it will be too dangerous for the ferry services to operate.>>> Wow! More than 5,000 boats out to mark the end of the century in Sydney! What's planned in your harbor? What are your own plans, if you plan to welcome the 21st century aboard your boat?
