Fogg 427 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 A growing number of S Pac weather-watchers are saying conditions are ripe for an ‘interesting’ summer ahead. Great news if you’re a surfer dude but could make family cruising a bit sporty this season. Meanwhile, the complex system brewing north of Fiji looks more sinister each day...

Fish 0 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'd go buy a surfboard before they all sell out... It sure is going to be an interesting summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 We should run a sweepstake on who’s going to win the Christmas Day battle - the big friendly high in the south corner or the two nasty little lows in the north corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Fiji is def not a place to be on a boat tonight. Wonder how the cruising community is faring... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'm struggling to comprehend the numbers I am hearing, 150 knot winds, or 345 km winds, depending on where I read. 16 m 'waves'... State of Disaster already declared, and their Civil Defence Controller lady is literally saying "run to the hills"... Its like a band Iron Maiden song... 600,000 people in the path of this storm. https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/433080/state-of-disaster-in-fiji-as-cyclone-yasa-bears-down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cantab 341 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Might be about now that immigration NZ might consider your plea to enter NZ from Fiji. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chariot 242 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 When in Samoa during cyclone Val, radio broadcasts where telling everyone to try and preserve human life. That makes you fell a little uneasy. Locals told us it's like the end of the world. They weren't far wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
