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 bringing rain to Savusavu , system over New Cal
on26 Mar and moves SSE , not a problem for us.

;Fri 23 Mar fine;Sat 24 Mar showers; Sun 25 Mar fine ??
Mon 26 Mar Hvy-Showers;Tues 27 Mar showers, Wed 28 Mar
