No Bueno

The "blue dot" is us. The red, yellow, purple is a tropical depression heading our way.

This is a screen shot of the GRIB forecast for early next week (Tuesday).  What you really don’t ever want to see, ever, is a “flag” on these things.  Flags equal over 50 knots of wind.  If you look closely you’ll see a flag in the NE quadrant in the “purple” area of the low.  We’re hoping this dissipates before getting to Fiji.  We’re currently anchored in Saweni Bay, but as of Friday we’re moving about 6 miles south to Denarau where (hopefully) we have a spot in the marina.  We’re watching this closely and hope it will veer off or dissipate.  Stay tuned though, it could be a wild ride!

  1. Wow, that’s quite a GRIB file. A post on what you do for storm prep would be interesting. Extra anchor out? Move away from other boats? Batten down the Calvados?
