well high tide has come and gone with minimal damage...one panga that wasnt pulled up high enough flipped over and they pulled pangas up higher after that...photos tomorrow.

Just before dark we could see big dark clouds coming our way and a breeze is picking up from the SE now...gonna be a long windy/rainy night I imagine. Be safe everyone!

Appreciate your reports in the Baja Sur area. Hard to get info on Conception Bay area since the Burro Bay webcam has been out. Our little house on Coyote Bay seems to be out of the weather for now. Good luck.

Here are some scenes from around town of the big swell last evening at high tide and this morning. Fortunately John passed far enough offshore to create a big 15' swell, an hour of rain and strong winds but not enough to cause damage....whew. It was a good dress rehearsal for what may come.

We will start our Hurricane cruise with Rossman standing in the splash zone out by the cooperativa here at the point.





then on to the Y where these pangas had to be pulled much higher up to the road just after I took the photo...the swell was only about 10' at the high tide Thursday night and was to get up to 15 later at night.



there would be no fishing halibut off the pier



there were lots of spectators...a wave came over the bank just after I took this and they had to move the bench back!







i took this from the Beach House deck



the waves breached the berm and water was pouring into fill the lagunita which happened 4 years ago and gave the kids a safe place to swim all year long.



Baja Gypsy was our chauffer and Rossman was her copilot for the storm tour.



Here is John's calling card just before dark.



today it looks like a washing machine out here at the point with waves coming from different directions wrapping around the Island.


About 10 at night the wind started to howl and it rained like a banshee for an hour or so and then the skies cleared and only some lightning was left! Whew....dodged the bullet once again but it was a good dress rehearsal for what may be coming down the pipe next month!
