Should be decent weather in the western sheltered area where the marine park is. Hopefully the port captain will not close it again for the one size fits all '25 km/h from the NW wind' this weekend.

Remaining closed from Palancar and south, conditions were neither bad nor dangerous.

Port closed to vessels below 15M this morning. Winds are projected to worsen thru Tuesday. Hopefully TD#10 will quit slobbering around and pickup speed going north and the port will reopen in a few days. TD#10 is projected to become Tropical storm / Hurricane Idalia and head towards the Redneck Riviera. The slower it moves north the stronger it will be. Trivia note, more storm names starting with the letter 'I' have been retired than any other letter.

Nice trivia point regarding letter I. Kind of makes sense letter would be somewhere near letter “I” because that would likely have occurred towards the middle of the season when ocean temperatures were high (though “I” may be closer towards the start of the season these days in part due to climate shifts but also because better satellites and instruments are picking up more fish storms (ocean storms that don’t hit land ) than we would have 50 years ago .

had lunch at rastas. nearly flat. back in 2005 with emily (prior to Wilma) drove around the island the day before the storm hit and it was calm. Now Wilma was something else. East side was closed nearly two days before the storm came in for good reason.
