I have been trying to ignore them.
Anyway...Our last three Hurricanes, which flooded Mulege, have all occurred within a three day span; Aug. 31-Sept. 2. They have all been given names
that start with "J"; John, Julio and Jimena.
This year it is not going to happen. The water temperature is cooler, we are only 2 1/2 weeks away, and the named storms would have to reach J before
then.
So, I am canceling the annual Mulege River Brown Trout Surfing Tournament.  This will be a real disappointment. It is much more challenging than anything the Pacific surfers have to do. One must surf from the
bridge to the Sea of Cortez with their eyes and mouths closed.  Oh, and
goggles won't help because the surge, when it gets to the bridge, would just rip the goggles off of your face. 
Mick will have to hold a Doodie Dive in the calm river water though. There are indeed, many treasures to behold

I arrived in Cabo about the 24th of September, 2001. One of the first flights out of LAX after 9/11. A day and a half before Juliette destroyed the
town! That was an adventure I will never forget. Keep your eyes open and plywood ready, Ma Nature has a couple good months left to play!

Unless you are living in your new casita, it is best to leave the window and door openings open during hurricane season...Less resistance.

Summer hasnt even started here yet...usually we start getting summer weather the first week of August...but alas...the water hasnt warmed up enough to
kick start summer. We still need a long sleeve t-shirt in the morning and evenings...still sleep under a blanket too....soooo...cold water=no
storms....yet.
I prefer the spring conditions anyway...low 80's...but look forward to swimming in some decent warmish water soon.

I like the idea of leaving everything open
I just had new windows installed and plywood delivered yesterday. Now I have to design coverings that I can leave half the storm covers open and be
able to close them fast if need be. And, thank God, only 4 sheets of 3ply to do the whole house (casita)!

No how, no way, am I going to complain about the cool sleeping under a blanket weather here in Vera Cruz. This is so nice to not even need a fan. I
haven't needed long sleeves yet, but I have worn my socks to bed a few evenings. I awoke this morning to the sound of gentle rain. It was sunny and
warm this afternoon when I went for my walk. The rain has returned this evening. After 16 summers in So. Baja, I am enchanted not to sweat it out.
