The storms passing by off our coast have apparently kicked up a mar de fondo event. Some big swells started rolling in the wee hours of Tuesday. They should make for good surfing along our coast. A passing onda tropical is likely to bring storms to our area this coming Thursday.

I saw more sea turtle tracks this Tuesday morning that barely came past the waterline before making their nest, which means they're unlikely to survive the next big storm that passes by. Saw another set of tracks that simply turned around and went back into the water without nesting, likely deterred by the bright lights, drunks or dogs.

There's still a smattering of tourists around, most not spending any money except at Oxxo and whatever beachfront restaurant they use at Las Gatas or Isla Ixtapa that lets them bring their own cooler with them. But local turisteros are already bragging that our tourist season will start with the arrival of Canadians via one of the charter services in October instead of November. Can I get a "That sounds good, eh"?

[image]A lovely little hotel in Troncones is Hotel Los Sueños. This enchanting oceanfront inn offers 6 one-bedroom suites, a two-bedroom family suite with kitchen, and a "cozy" surfers' room also with kitchen, queen-size bed and bunk bed. All rooms have A/C, fridge, hammock, wireless internet, and there is a pool on the property. Located on Playa Troncones within easy walking distance of the village, restaurants and convenience stores.

Una enorme tormenta al sur de nuestra costa en el Océano Pacífico pintó el cielo de Zihuatanejo durante el amanecer este martes.

This in reference to the link to Hotel Los Suenos. We stayed there in April of 2023 having seen it on this website. It was a wonderful property.
I have followed this forum since 2006 which was our first trip to Zihua. It has been a great source of information since then. We have rarely stayed in the same place during our 10 visits. Many ideas came from this forum. Trip reports were great to read.
I have found new places to eat from forum suggestions.
The daily turmoil and non turmoil is interesting to read. Take some with "no need to worry, that's life."
Thanks for this site.
