Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Janie Bard in West Bay. If you would like to submit a photo and a chance at a $50 credit at Blue Bahia Beach Grill, please email your photo to bookmybio@gmail.com along with name and location or WhatsApp it to 9475-4406. The reason I ask you not to send it Messenger is because for some reason Mark Zuckerberg takes all the resolution out of the photo.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: Let’s start with this morning’s winds. The buoys on the north side of Utila are showing 20 mph west winds, while the buoys on the south side of Roatan are still showing strong east winds. This forecast map is for noon today, and shows the westerly winds moving into the west side of Roatan. After noon the forecast is for the winds to shift back slightly to the east, but this will be a day where the further west you are the more likely you are to have west winds and the further east, the more likely to have easterlies.

By noon tomorrow, westerlies are hanging on in Utila, but many of us will have calmer winds, with some northeasterlies around 15 mph especially for the northeast side of Roatan and Guanaja.

By noon Saturday we’re all back to easterly winds, but only about 15 mph.

Rain forecast: On satellite you can see the cold front strongly apparent over Florida, but not so easy to see as you go southwest. But it is the reason our winds are changing today. We will see an increase in clouds today, but only a 10 percent chance of any sort of shower. For the period from tomorrow morning through Monday morning, we will have a 40 percent chance of rain, mostly overnight and in the mornings. It’s not a sure thing, but let’s hope some of us get a little relief from this drought.

Last night I had spaghetti with ground beef from Carniceria Rosita and was reminded just how lean and tasty their beef is. Most other places will have soy or other fillers that mess up the texture of the meat, but Rosita’s is just pure, tasty beef.

Low tide is 5:30 p.m. Have a great Thursday!
