On la Ropa, we have had absolutely no waves for three days now.

The red tide is still coming and going. Friday, at the south end of the bay when we sat on our boards we couldn't see our feet. Saturday it was clear, however at the north end of the beach there was absolutely no visibility and it was red.

Hopefully it's all going away!

Gracias, amiga. I suspected as much. It's been coming and going in patches since it started, but yesterday I noticed a lot of people swimming at the south and middle parts of La Ropa and all of La Madera and the downtown beach whereas the previous day folks just looked at the water without really going in it.

Guerrero's health authorities report NO currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo or anywhere else along the entire Costa Grande. The nearest active case is in Lázaro Cárdenas with 1 case. Acapulco reports only 8 active cases.

The ocean cleaned its act up today. The mar de fondo seems to have calmed down considerably, and the bay water looked clear and blue to me from my downtown perspective. No sign of the marea roja. No smell, no discolored water or dead fish. There was no hesitation by tourists today to enjoy swimming and playing in the water at the beaches in Zihuatanejo's bay.

The streets were still crowded last night around 1AM with entire families wandering about seemingly aimlessly. Someone started setting off fireworks around midnight, but apparently the police arrived and put an end to that nonsense. Amazing how quickly they show up when it doesn't involve catching criminals. Locals caught a man yesterday who had robbed from several downtown stores and it took the cops 20 long minutes to arrive after being called. If gunfire is involved, from past experience they usually don't show up any sooner than 40 minutes after the last shot has been fired. Local quirks one must get used to here.

The tourists got their money's worth today. It was a beautiful sunny day but still not hot, only pleasantly warm. But the heat's coming soon and the humidity is on the rise. Amazingly it still isn't very smoky.
