The models all expect this storm toContinue reading “September 23, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from NASA, and shows a satellite image of equinox, when day and night is equal from the north pole to the south pole. Supposedly our day and night should be equal, but like many things with weather, the answer isn’t simple. Our sunrise is 5:35Continue reading “September 22, 2024”

Our photo of the day from John DeBusi in West End puts us in mind of the old saying “Red sky in morning, sailor take warning; Red sky at night, sailor’s delight.” That saying does seem to have some truth to it. We’ll be watching for rainy weather, especially as we get into Monday and Tuesday. WeContinue reading “September 20, 2024”

We’ve been enjoying tranquil waters for the big fishing tournament, though this morning the winds are up slightly, from the east at 15 mph and seas 2-3 feet. By midday they should calmContinue reading “September 14, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. This morning’s photo of the day is from Gary Ruebush of a parrot fish that lives in West Bay. I’ve always thought that if parrot fish were less common, we’d all be in awe of them, telling each other when we got to see one. As it is they are asContinue reading “September 12, 2024”
