Buenas ImpreZIHones
Guerrero's health officials report NO currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo or the rest of the Costa Grande, 57 in Acapulco, and 146 in the entire state.
We suffered another picture-postcard perfect day of beautiful tropical weather. I don't know how we put up with this day after day. Some people surely must get tired of it, but not me.
People were still returning from Playa Las Gatas to the pier well past dark. Very few of the pangas have any lights, much less red-to-port and green-to-starboard lights. (I can't imagine what it is the Capitanía does to earn their paycheck.) I remember when I was helping to care for Owen's place one spring I would walk to town and back often a couple times a day, often leaving and getting back well after dark. It was nice to have a flashlight at night, but I usually didn't. The starlight was enough to see by. But now the beaches are so brightly lit and the light pollution is such that we can no longer see the Vía Láctea at night in Zihuatanejo. Bummer. Progress is not the right word to describe what Zihuatanejo is experiencing.
Be sure to get out on the water while you're here, even if only to take a tour of the coast. You'll very likely see dolphins up close as they play in the boat's bow wake, and at this time of year you might see whales. And shoot, while you're out there might as well trawl a line in the water just for kicks. My favorite person to cruise and fish with is by far Ramón Olea of the fishing panga Oleaje. Ramón knows the local waters intimately as well as all the local fishing secrets. His 24' covered panga, "Oleaje", doesn't offer much luxury, but his expertise in fishing is second to none! Ramón practices "catch and release" fishing.
