Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Cameron Kirkconnell in Utila and shows a couple of youngsters checking out the crystal clear waters on a crystal clear day. We haven’t had crystal clear days recently as we have been dealing with a lot of clouds that have knocked our temperature back from sweltering to just hot. If you have a photo you’d like to submit, please send it with name and location to bookmybio@gmail.com.

Here’s another sad satellite map that shows a storm to our north dying as it moves south over us. This has been a common occurrence the past few days. One of these mornings we will win the rain lottery and many of us will get wet. It’s just hard to say when that day will be.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day with winds mostly out of the west at 5-10 mph and seas around 2 feet on both sides of the island. Winds will shift to the east this afternoon around 5 mph and seas will be around 1 foot. Our calm weather continues with light and variable winds and waves 1-2 feet. The only exception will be if we can get a squall, which will create momentary winds and waves that will soon pass.

One week from today is Roa Fest sponsored by Galaxy Wave at Sol y Mar in Sandy Bay. Lots of family fun, entry is only 50 lempira and you can enjoy Ley Seca (In English that is “Dry Law”) and many other performers from the island and mainland and lots of activities for the kids, but most importantly it all benefits the public hospital.

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