Where I come from (BC) this is considered to be a navigational hazard! They would be required to relocate or face a massive fine! I can't believe they don't have room in the bay. I call Horse Puckey!

We don’t have enough ship traffic to consider a cruise ship a navigational hazard unless another cruise ship was expected. It wasn’t blocking access to the bay, it simply stayed in an area of the entrance of the bay that is generally rougher water due to the bottom formation. I don’t know if any local official such as the port captain was consulted about where to drop anchor, but I believe that spot was a poor choice, but maybe the ship’s draft called for it.

Passed the boat on the way out and in yesterday. Water in the bay was not rough at all and am sure the ship barely moved. Good to see such work at the pier. It is really taking shape.

Sailfish are SNAPPING. If your thinking of fishing stop thinking and go.

Dave, I never suggested the water IN the bay or anywhere else was rough. Folks who know the bay know that at the entrance where the deep water meets the boulder-covered bottom it is always choppy. Unless barrilete are jumping there, it’s an area most fishing boats cruise through swiftly.

I know, just saying, they had a lucky day. Unlike today which was like a washing machine in the bay early this morning, but by 2pm had laid down to normal.

Yesterday's cruise ship, the Norwegian Gem, was apparently too big to even enter Zihuatanejo's bay. It just sat in the mouth of the bay where the water is the choppiest.

A close-up look at the progress this morning. They are working day and night.
