What are the chances of the BoM getting a reasonably accurate prediction for the wind strength 3-4 days out?


You could just as likely have a 1-2kt Zephyr, be dodging Iceberg’s or the sea level may drop so far that your boat might be high and dry!

Anyway as the Life of Brian last song says.

Always look on the bright side of life!!

But if you know the song, you’ll remember that one of the lines says “Worse things happen at sea, you know”.

At the very least those southerlies will improve ya homeward journey Speeds a bit and instead of crashing Up and Down (like the first leg) you’ll be Cork Screwing as you slide down those Following Seas.

By the way, where you sailing for fun or were you Racing?
