And the BLUE WATER is only about a mile offshore!

Hola
Rob why are you putting ads in for charter boats when the water is basically unnavigable because of the storms offshore?

Folks can certainly plan ahead for their vacations, can't they?

Anyway, the storm's gone, fishermen are back at work in their pangas, I expect the pier to Isla Ixtapa will be back in business tomorrow if not later today, and all the vessels offered by Zihuatanejo Ixtapa Charters are large enough to easily and comfortably navigate our coastal waters in style.

Today would be an excellent day go to Isla Ixtapa in a charter vessel because for the moment it won't be full of tourists, and you could have the place pretty much to yourself. I prefer avoiding the hordes, don't you?

After having the outer bands of Huracán Hilary pass over us with its intense winds Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning, we barely got a sprinkle out of the darn thing. Incredibly disappointing! ¡'Tamos sala'os!

It also looks like Hilary sucked all the precipitation from the following area of disturbed tropical weather along with it as it grew while hugging our coast, so it may not rain for a while, and calmer waters appear to be on the way.

While Ixtapa Island and the open ocean remain closed for small vessels, folks were able to visit Playa Las Gatas today thanks to the much calmer waters inside our sheltered bay. Looking at the webcams for Ixtapa's Playa El Palmar this Thursday, the beach along the open ocean was frankly a scary place to be with huge waves. One more reason we are thankful for the protection our bay affords us in Zihuatanejo, PUERTO MÁGICO.

It seemed like there were very few tourists around today in Zihuatanejo, even with Las Gatas open. I suspect the storm scared a lot of people off. We lost a tree at our property in Ixtapa. Some neighbors here downtown lost a sign. The downtown streets and Paseo del Pescador were buried under sand this morning creating quite a lot of work for the barrenderos.

An excellent way to enjoy our coastal region is from the ocean with its majestic views of the mountains. For your adventure on our local waters I highly recommend the services of Zihuatanejo Ixtapa Charters. They have vessels for all occasions. Take your pick and enjoy an unforgettable day in our paradise.
