Tormenta Tropical Norma is churning a few hundred kilómeters off our coast and is expected to develop into a hurricane overnight before making a beeline for Los Cabos in Baja California del Sur. Meanwhile, it's spawning quite a large storm in one of its outer bands that is expected to cause intense rains along the Costa Grande of Guerrero. And just a little ways to the south, another storm is expected to form that looks like it may make landfall along our coast, though it's still too soon to tell. Enjoy the calm before the storm and keep an eye on the local weather.

The Capitanía is likely to close the port late Wednesday or Thursday morning, if the current forecast holds, since large waves are expected.

There've been a few visitors around. Mostly bus daytrippers, but I've also been seeing and hearing some English-speakers around. ¡Bienvenidos!

Be warned, the municipal government is now openly comparing Zihuatanejo to Disneyland. That's their sick disrespectful vision of our vacation destination, and their pathetic excuse for all the painted cement. If you've been following this Message Board long enough, you'll know I predicted this over a decade ago. Greed and ineptitude among our local políticos win out over serious and honest municipal administration. I used to hope we could avoid this. Call me naïve.

One thing I DO know is that Bambutreehouse is an authentic and original Zihuatanejo experience overlooking La Ropa from a low hill at the southern end and within easy walking distance of the beach and numerous restaurants. Adorned with handmade furniture, local handcrafts and art made by its owner, this is a lodging for folks wanting a true Zihuatanejo experience, close to nature and a bit rustic but still quite comfortable. This is the kind of lodging where I personally would feel most at home. Hopefully you will, too.

Otra mañana brumosa en la bahía de Zihuatanejo mientras se forma un huracán frente a nuestra costa.
