Zihuatanejo reached 226 confirmed Covid-19 cases today, with 131 people recovered and 31 fatalities. Word is that the IMSS and General hospitals are saturated and the mobile unit sent by the U.S. Embassy is not yet functioning. Locals are quickly becoming believers, but we are all still seeing too many visitors not wearing facemasks in the streets. Fortunately it's been raining a lot lately, so maybe the weather will give folks time to contemplate their actions. While we are happy to receive all kinds of visitors, we prefer responsible ones.

Several nights this week thanks to the rain it's been cool enough to require a light bedsheet to sleep under at night. Last night a bolt of lightning hit so close that it woke us up instantly and had me shouting back at it. It was actually a funny moment except it was around 5:30 in the morning.

This has been a wetter July than "normal", though I haven't consulted any statistics. Only that usually we get a good storm at te beginning of the month and then practically nothing serious until about mid-August. We've not had heavy rainstorms, but things have been kept damp enough with light rains that mosquitos are a problem and apparently the city isn't spraying for them even though dengue is a problem this year. No idea why not.

Some tourists said they saw a whale shark outside Zihuatanejo Bay earlier this week. Many of our fishing captains are also trained in careful whale watching in case anyone would like to hire a boat and go for a cruise, whether to fish or just sightsee. I've never had a bad time on a boat here except that one time I tried beaching a boat during a hurricane and mistimed the waves.

Please consider chartering a boat or enjoying one of our other tour activities while you are here.
