17:53.0S 178:33W Kids having a great chat with me
on watch, all about how they are to become rich and famous, not too sure the
schemes will work, but it is best to be optimistic! We passed through the gap in
the Lao group, and just as we were in the "narrow" bit three large waterspouts
pop up dead ahead. Quiclkly down with all the sails, and then motor away from
the track as fast as possible, Not very really! Anyhow, they missed us, I guess
the closest was about a mile away, the wind didn`t pick up too much, but it did
look spectacular.
Sails back up now, and the wind is at about 120R, a
steady 6/7 kts dead on course. Have to decide tomorrow if we want to go into
Suva, or just sneak round the corner to Latoka (not spelt correctly). The
kids have just eaten an entire packet of Tagleateli(??) and decided that that is
their favorite pasta. Homework for today involves calculating how far all the
pasta we have eaten on the trip would stretch! Now that`s worthwhile maths!
Answer tomorrow!
