Sydney, Australia, December 14, 2008--Swapping out sleigh for speedboat, 14 Santas rip through Sydney Harbour.

Pumped to take on the naughty and the nice, these jolly old elves are likely to encounter beachgoers and boaters enjoying the holiday, which falls in the middle of the Southern Hemisphere summer.
