effect Savusavu ;-
Now we all know Gribs over 4 days are alittle suspect
but Gribs do often indicate
possible bad weather , there doesn't appear to be any
weather to worry about out past 4-10 days forward, although
a circular system developes to the NW of Vanuatu then it
appears to move S/SSW and strengthen , not a problem for us.
