Zihuatanejo's water shortage continues worsening. The rivers are dry and so are 4 of the 6 wells used to supply Zihuatanejo's "pozo radial". Please help us to conserve water if you live here or are visiting. Now's not a good time to be topping off your pool or watering gardens.

Weather experts predict that from the end of August to mid-September we can expect another Ingrid-Manuel type of rainstorm. Maybe you remember back in 2012 when two hurricanes merged on top of us, one from the Atlantic and another from this coast, and it rained torrentially for around two weeks and caused an unquantifiable amount of destruction throughout much of Guerrero. Not looking forward to it, but we'll damn sure try to be prepared.

A little smoke was visible this morning, but not much, not as bad as the other day, which wasn't bad at all, just noticeable. The night was a bit warm until the wee hours, then it cooled off perfectly for sleeping. Amazingly, thanks to our extremely cool water temp, between 23.4°C and 24.6°C, it's still cool enough to need to sleep under a sheet at night for those of us who sleep with our windows open. I don't ever recall the ocean water being this cool at this date when our hurricane season starts.

An inviting place that will leave you wanting more of what they have to offer: a luxury bed and breakfast boutique hotel in a private villa overlooking La Ropa Beach with only 4 suites, a restaurant and a unique pool bar lounge offering a panoramic view of Zihuatanejo Bay and its beaches. They also have a gourmet open-air restaurant that will transport you to a magical place full of temptations.

The ocean was perfect for our paddle this morning, but it was cool enough that neither of us were willing to swim. So, since we felt the water temp when we entered the water, we paddled extra hard in hopes of burning off more calories!!!

Yep - went swimming Tuesday late afternoon and the water is cold again! Still feels good after you get used to it!

Sounds really nice for this time of year. I'm coming Saturday for a few days of unplanned dental tourism. I read in an earlier post, no mahi. Are tuna and snapper unaffected by the colder water?

I've seen both tuna and red snapper at the fishermen's market during this past week. Haven't had any dorado for over a month, and haven't seen any at the market, though there were a few caught at the tournament a couple of weeks ago.

The best thing about them, aside from the great fish, is that they are not downtown, so parking is easy!
