I have had a couple of email asking what effect hurricane Jimena is having on us in Melaque.
In a word -- nada.
I pity any boats out there in its path on the Pacific. It is quite a storm -- a class two hurricane with sustained winds of 105 MPH. There was a time I drove that speed. Now, I cannot even imagine being on the ground and clipping along at that rate.
The storm is south of us and far enough out to sea that when it comes by off shore, we may get some wave activity, a bit of wind, and, I hope, some rain.
The people on Baja may not be so lucky. At the moment, the hurricane is headed toward the southern tip of Baja like an 8 year-old's tongue ready to lick a popsicle. But this meeting will not be that benign.
We continue to watch.
