Near the dolphins on la Ropa, we have had a nice clear view of the eclipse for about the last hour. Lucky.

Yepper. Same here in town. I was surprised to see the clouds break up and the moon appear.

Wednesday night saw a beautiful full moon visible through the clouds over Zihuatanejo, but Thursday night's cloud cover will prevent us from enjoying the lunar eclipse.

The high heat and humidity along with a total absence of any semblance of a breeze made for a stuffy and uncomfortable day this Thursday along our part of the Costa Grande. The air felt so thick you could practically swim through it. There's a chance of rain in the forecast for this Thursday night and throughout the weekend.

Thanks to all the storms off our coast, we're also expecting another mar de fondo event to arrive sometime this Friday with waves from 6 to 8 ft (2 to 2.6 m). Local surfers are in for a good time!

Our tourism has really died off, though there were a few people at La Ropa, La Madera and El Palmar beaches. Sales were extremely slow, and the downtown restaurants along the waterfront were all empty, even La Porteña, a very bad sign. This weekend is the last hurrah until November. The downtown beach was mostly dead until late in the day when all of a sudden it seemed like everyone was in the water looking like bait for the toothy critters that feed after dusk. They looked so relaxed bobbing around I didn't have the heart to warn them. But at 32°C and no breeze, the water isn't offering much relief.

Villas Troncones on Troncones Beach is a lovely lodging away from the crowds with the beach out your front door and where the night sky can still be appreciated. Ten villas featuring from 1 to 5 bedrooms surrounding a pool. All villas have ceiling fans, A/C and kitchens. Meals are available prepared on property. Located within easy walking distance of other restaurants, convenience stores and the village. They still have availability for the upcoming Christmas vacation season! (click to enlarge photo)

Una luna llena sale entre las nubes sobre la bahía de Zihuatanejo.
