It's 7 in the morning, Im writing mails to my
daughters at home (well one is in school in Amsterdam), the sun is up, 28
degrees C (this is going to be another hot day!) Almost no wind at all. We are
in the middle of a trough that spins the little wind there is around from
different directions.
It is funny to watch the gribs telling us all about
it and read Fiji Mets weather bullentin that keeps saying the same thing all
over: Strong winds from SW 20-25 knots.
Well to be fair, yesterday they changed it to NW
20-25. It makes you wonder what's happening in Nadi- any follow ups on the
forecasts?
Sorry now I noticed, Im complaining about the
forecasters like everybody else. Well we have a weatherprogram and we buy the
forecasts from Meteocom and they seem to be spot on all the time! Have been for
2,5 years by know! Thanks to their great work we had got into little troubble so
far and hopefully will, but who knows? Like Bob Mc Davitt always writes: Weather
is chaos.
Enough of that.
Yesterday, another day of work and school.
Afternoon we took the dinghy to a reef I've seen when paddling. It was amazing
and Erika who wished to see a shark got to see one. Lots and lots of
fish!
Friday night is what we call a couzy night so we
watched movies and ate popcorn.
Ellinor and I saw American History and to be honest
I had a hard time sleeping after that movie.
Either we are not used to media and violence or it
is really a horrible story that gets you. Especially now when things are getting
tighter in Europe.
But even after a reminder of a brutal reality we
had some magic when taking a last swim in the dark before going to
bed.
Sea-fire, (mareld in Swedish) there was so much it
glittered in the water without even us being in it! So intense! In the water you
could make the most wonderful lightshow by moving your body. We had to get the
kids up and it was a WOW!
We could also make fireworks with the bow
thruster....
