Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day was taken by Loren White near Sundowner’s in West End. It was shot, well, right after the sun went down. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that Saharan dust is on the way. The good news is that dust often makes for good sunrise and sunset photos.

Let’s start with the satellite around 6:30 a.m. We can see a few popcorn clouds to the east of Guanaja. They are heading northwest and look like they will miss us, but there may be a light morning shower or two in these clouds. We will continue to have VERY slight chances of rain each morning.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We wake up to east winds 20 mph and seas at 3 feet south side. Today and tomorrow we will continue to have winds mostly around 15 mph from the east daytime with 3 foot seas south side and 20 mph nighttime with 4 foot seas south side. Wednesday night things get a little winder with 25 mph winds and seas 4-5 feet south side.

Here’s the bad news about Saharan dust. It looks like it is coming starting Wednesday and setting in through the end of the week. At least we won’t have it as bad as the islands in the eastern Caribbean.

Mitch Cummins has come back from his tour of Mexico and Central America with some great ideas for Roatan Pets food. If you have a poochie, you owe to him/her and yourself to get in touch with him and see how he can tailor a recipe perfect for your good boy.

Low tide looks quite low around 1:30 p.m. Have a great week!
