French Polynesia to New Zealand

7/1/21

The last few days have been all about sailing fast and passing through a ‘trough’. We have had bright sunshine, reasonable but dropping breeze and then more squalls. Approaching the trough we were advised we would see a ‘squall line’ then it would be not such nice sunny weather. It was obvious as we approached. The sky went from pure deep blue to a horizon full of dark grey clouds! The squalls were as expected and once into the trough it was a bit dull and the wind started to drop. We have been advised by the router that as we come out the other side it will be time to ‘burn some diesel’.
