[status] 20181125 0600 UTC, Day 6. 2 POB, Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Outbound Fiji. Inbound Marshall Islands. Lightning puts us on edge like not much else (piracy?). Yesterday evening the winds dropped to less than 4 kts and we started drifting. Just before midnight, with a beautiful full moon, Morgan spotted a very large cluster of squalls headed our way. In the bright silvery moonlight, the cluster was black-black with lightning tendrils. We decided to motor to escape them and then spent the next 5 hours dodging spawning electrical squalls.1060 nm to go (rhumbline).
