[status] Anchored in lagoon at S. Minerva Reef: Yesterday was mostly overcast with a few smallish squalls. No real sun. This morning's sky looks more promising for nice weather with large patches of blue and pink undersides to the altocumulus layer. We prepared the boat for a passage to Fiji in possibly rough weather. It appears that a 'squash zone' of compressed isobars might be coming bringing strong winds, but in a favorable direction for our passage.

All is well on board.
