A difficult 1st Day.

The start in Wellington for this Austral Winter II Sailing race, was in time.
Before the Start as study on winds and even more the forecasts made me believe that a turn to the South-East before heading South would bring me stronger winds as compared to some area's of calm winds along the Coast of Christchurch. 


This morning I found my boat, maybe a little too far East but at this moment my assumption looks to be correct. The boats on the coast are struggling in calm variable winds. 


However, now I have to sail a day or so headwind towards the 1st gate at Dunedin. Tomorrow we will know, who had the best route.
