Heading down to Coz toward the end of August. How’s the sargassum this year?

I was on Cozumel a month ago; the sargassum is there on the east side and not on the west side. It may not be as bad as last year, but we went later this year than last. In the Gulf north of the Yucatan I saw vast rivers of the stuff from the plane.

And if I were to commit a crime, the first thing I would do is steal someone's vest and helmet.

And increased traffic $tops for out-of-state/out-of-country tourists who ride their own motorcycle into QR, without a vest & helmet that match the license plate.
