Good morning Bay Islands. Someone recently asked for photos without sunsets, so today decided to go with Patti Yelinek’s photo. It should have a sunset in it over West End, but it was too smoky/dusty to see it. Send your photo, with or without a sunset, to bookmybio@gmail.com with name of photographer and location.

This morning we can actually see the smoke on satellite as a thin haze.

Not wanting to make you feel bad, but look at all the rain in the eastern Pacific over toward Panama. This rain seems mostly stationary and definitely not coming toward us. On the bright side, long-term forecasts are trying to give us at least a chance of showers 10 days out.

On this map you can see the dust. Right now we are stuck in the green, with moderate levels of Saharan dust. As we get toward Wednesday we start getting into the yellows with lighter dust and by Friday we see a few patches of white, which means blue sky (if we can get rid of the smoke).

The sargassum has gotten much better. On this map you can actually see that a small patch is supposed to pass by today, but not as big as last week’s and it should get better as the week goes on.

Here’s a little math for you. Carniceria Rosita meat + air fryer = heaven on earth.

Lowest tide is 8:30. Have a great week!
