El Regreso de la PreZIHpitación

We enjoyed another overnight rain Friday night that again brought down temperatures and once again made sleeping under a sheet feel comfortable with the windows open and a fan on low. But the clouds remained all day this Saturday, so beachgoers didn't exactly get what they came for. It was at least a pleasant day, albeit overcast, but I hate to see people risking illness swimming in muddy coastal waters after a rain. This from someone who grew up swimming in the Ohio River.

While it appears we got a late rush of day trippers this weekend, they were mostly people who arrive on buses who tend not to spend much. Maybe they go to a restaurant at Las Gatas, Isla Ixtapa, Playa Linda, Playa Blanca, or Barra de Potosí, but they don't spend much anywhere else, so it was a slow day for downtown merchants and vendors. Even La Porteña was slow, and they're usually ALWAYS busy.

We expect the coming week, the last week of the summer vacation season, to be slow. Families usually spend the last week of our summer vacation season getting their children ready to return to school.

We have quite a large area of disturbed tropical weather off our coast. Three separate storms are likely to develop from it, and hopefully they will all head westward. But due to a low-pressure trough running from north to south, much of the country is likely to see rain. This evening we're expecting more rain coming out of the north along the coast. Hopefully it won't be too windy or a torrential downpour. And Sunday is looking like a day similar to Saturday with clouds and a chance of rain.

Whether you want to go sportfishing, whale watching, sightseeing or snorkeling, my friend Capitán Ramón Olea of the panga Oleaje offers an affordable adventure waiting to be enjoyed. Ramón knows all the local fishing and snorkeling spots as well as what else is worth seeing. His 24' covered panga doesn't offer much luxury, but his expertise in fishing and his local knowledge of our coast and its marine life is second to none! Ramón practices "catch and release" fishing when possible. (click to enlarge image)
