We fish for a few hours enroute to Isla Ixtapa and have the folks at El Indio cook up some of our catch for lunch. We board at the dock in Zihua and return there. Getting on and off the panga is a little tricky for old farts like me, but apparently a lot safer than at Playa Linda.

Today, after being back from Zihua for a month, I searched Playa Linda to see what information I could find on the new pier. I opened this recent post. On a prior 2017 trip we went to Isla Ixtapa and the loading onto water taxi was frightening. I was sure when we went last month it would be better. We took friends who were with us on their first trip to Zihua. Our experience was NOT good. The ocean surges were terrible. Getting into the boat, I was nervous, but knew I could fall into the taxi. At the island, a man on the taxi in front us fell between the boat and dock. Lots of guys to pull him up. Soooo. Have to return. Same situation. At Playa Linda dock, the surges were very bad, I got pulled up but the dock was full of visitors waiting to board and once up, I almost lost my balance as there was nothing to hold to and the bottom tier was full of people. Must also add, I am in 70”s, but able to maneuver quite well. We have been via panga once. Next time we will go beach to beach!

There continue to be NO active cases of Covid-19 along the entire Costa Grande of Guerrero.

Though there are currently large waves from the mar de fondo and a bit of smoke in the air (not too bad for this time of year), our local weather remains incredible! It was a bit hazy this morning and the humidity seems to be increasing slowly but steadily, but the temps were still quite comfortable, maybe just a bit warm for folks from cooler climes, but perfect for us. Less than 2 weeks until our hurricane season officially begins.

The pier at Playa Linda is being demolished so that a new one can be rebuilt in its place, so as of today there is no pier access at Playa Linda, and the current mar de fondo that is expected to last at least through Saturday makes loading and unloading passengers on the beach more difficult.

Fish fillets are going to be plentiful and inexpensive for the next few days as the tournament gets underway. A good time to find fresh local fish at local restaurants.

Big waves from the mar de fondo rode high up the beach and the sea breeze left visible droplets on the palm trees.
