HOBART in the Passing

This LiveSkipper Austral Winter II Sailing Race has only a Gate at Tasmania, so there is no time to visit Hobart, the legendary sailing city. 

The winds yesterday and today are nice strong and from the South,giving a good angle tosail with the Spinnaker full of air and allows to make a good progress. 
The winds today are turning most to the eastern side, so while anticipating this, I sailed a little north to enjoy the stronger winds upthere. After the necessary gybe in this backing winds, I will again have a good approach angle for the Tasmania Gate on the South side of the Island. 

Target for today is the validation of this gate and afterwards have to turn North to encircle the island and return to New-Zealand.

Rank:56  this morning .
