Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Brenda LeTarte captured this nicely colored cumulus cloud from Edo’s on Utila.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from the web cam at Coco View, showing even on the normally wavy southside of the island, that we look more like a pond than a sea.

We will stay windy today,Continue reading “September 13, 2026”
