Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from DF Jones in Parrot Tree and shows a few more clouds than we’ve been having recently. We had a very nice midmorning and early afternoon yesterday with winds down to 5 mph and we will have a similar experience today for all the cruisers coming in on the Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship.
I’m very excited to announce a new sponsor for our weather forecasts, Galaxy Wave. In the coming months I’ll be testing out their service to Guanaja and visit that island for the first time. I can’t wait to share a video of my experience.
In honor of our new sponsor, I thought I’d bring out the wave map for the 2 p.m. ferry to La Ceiba, showing a very smooth ride, with 1-2 foot seas between here and Ceiba. The further north and east you go, the choppier the seas get today. But we should have another period of midday calm with winds around 10 mph from the east. We will continue to have windy evenings and overnight around 20-25 mph, with the exception of Wednesday night, which looks to be a calmer night at 15-20 mph.
I’m trying to give us some hope of seeing rain, but in this GFS forecast, the rain that is forecast to come through March 11 looks pretty light and spotty. The GFS is giving us a stronger rain system around March 18, but that is a long way off and forecasts that far out are unreliable. But still there’s hope.
I will be heading down the line tomorrow morning to deliver calendars in Sandy Bay. If anyone wants one for 200 lemps, send me a message. They are also still available at La Sirena de Camp Bay, Restaurant & Bar.
Low tides are 10:40 a.m. and 10:40 p.m. Have a great week!
