 Mojo to Fiji  News not so good   Blog 7
 
We recieved the unwanted news last night that we would encounter a SPCZ on our next leg of the journey, thats roughly 2-3 days away, the concern is that it came with a rain warning and the fact that it could be  doesnt bode well, however we are already preparing for that part of the journey and by time we get there hopefully all will be prepared, and to add to our practice a passing squall with 32 knots of wind came through just after breakfast, with rain, a massive formation looked like someone had sent a v bomber to deliver its deadly cargo with undercarriage as well, spooky.
 
We have organised our deck fittings so its not as cluttered and stashed and lashed all that we will not need. We are going to concentrate on getting as much rest as possible so we are fully prepared.On my last Atlantic crossing people disscussed squalls in great detail and speculated that on a crossing you may well experience one or two, well try 4 a day for 6 days and you become something of a squall bore.
 
Just changing our routing now and will be going the Manuka passage route into Fiji.Well gotta go someone is shaking lunch at me.
