Blowing Stink in Galveston

[Dave Dillehay]

No month is worse than January, all in all. The last "history" posted here declared no lost days in December of 2017. Completely wrong, there were three, for sure and a few maybe.

1017? You really ARE an old fart, aren't you?

Thanks Gordon, I edited proof that I did not start Aldora quite that early in History.

I'll be happy to update the chart if you can tell me the days. The chart is according to my actual trip rosters and trip calendar, but I am human and I make mistakes.

This history? It shows 3 in December 2017: Historical Port Closures by month/year for Cozumel

I made the mistake of coming to Coz in October one year and dove with Aldora in pouring rain for a solid week.This year I returned for trip #4 the second week of December,and encountered port closures and hastily arranged trips to the east end...Seems like the so-called “ high season” is becoming a bit of a downer...

Week long rains are not that common on Cozumel but they do happen occasionally; it can be any time during the tropical "rainy season" which corresponds roughly to what we think of as hurricane season. I was there for one in June some years ago.

I was there one time in February for Carnaval and diving and it poured the whole week. One of the few times I came home whiter then when I came down. The funny part about it is it poured all day long but let up for the parades at night. Didn't see the sun one time all week.

Travel is always an adventure, and weather always happen - good or bad, part of the adventure. I certainly have many adventurous memories created by weather changes.

I've been very lucky with my Cozumel trips overall, once I escape Texas storms and closed airports, especially with my late August birthday trips. There was one I should have canceled when hurricane Dean was aimed at the island and filed trip insurance claims. The town boarded up in case he didn't veer off, and I escaped with confirmed reservations thru a Cancun airport virtually full of desperate evacuees who had slept in a standby line. He did finally veer off, but it was the good call.

Still haven't seen any hard data that January is the worst month to come down to Cozumel. Just because one January in 2001 had lots of port closures dosen't make a pattern. I have been down for many Januarys without issue.
