Good morning Bay Islands. This morning’s photo comes from Dalton McCoole (no, I didn’t make that name up) and he gave us a great overview looking down over Oakridge Cay, Lucy Point and Jonesville. I love photos that feature our communities. Remember that the five most liked photos compete on Feb. 29 for $50 in food at La Sirena de Camp Bay, Restaurant & Bar. Some of us got a little rain this morning.

A few of us, especially on the east side and on Guanaja, got a few hundredths of an inch of rain this morning.

On satellite we can see some clouds moving from east to west. We will continue to have chances of light rain today under partly to mostly cloudy skies and some peaks of sunshine. Tonight into tomorrow morning we will also have a small chance of light rain. After that, we get dry an sunny for awhile.

Wind and wave forecast: We start out the day with east winds around 5 mph and seas from the northeast around 2-3 feet on the northside and 1 foot on the southside. This afternoon east winds will increase to 10-15 mph and seas to 2 feet on the south side. Tomorrow morning winds will be from the east 15-20 mph and by evening 20-25 mph and seas increase to 3-4 feet. The rest of the week we will have strong trade winds 20-25 mph and sometimes 30 mph at night, and seas 4-5 feet on the southside. Our temperatures will return to seasonal averages — mid 70s for lows and mid 80s for highs (24 to 30C).

Tuesday through Thursday are always the biggest days for cruise ships and if you are planning your cruise, don’t forget to look up Jolly Roger Roatan for the best and safest excursions.

Low tides are 3:45 p.m. and 4 a.m. Have a great week!
