We think we passed through the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) last night and it sure felt like it, what little we know. The wind died and came from all quarters so we motored through and from early on, there were flashes of lightening all around, fortunatley at some distance, when we counted, the claps of thunder put them about 15 - 20 miles away. We had a few rain squalls and one on Westies watch was 30 knots, lucky we only had a reefed main. We only have 150N Miles to run now and the ESE trade winds have started to kick back in, initially at 9 -10 knots on a calm sea. Our Tropicbird leads the way.
Papaya for breakfast, sounds good.
Have a great day all.
