WIND yesterday afternoon
Had up to 40mph winds in the afternoon yesterday. You can't really close up the house this time of year while it's so hot and so the sand and dirty
just blows in and covers everything. Everything is covered in grit. I woke at 3am and it was dead calm with enough moon light to see the huge (for
here) surf still pounding in. Better now. I hate cleaning! but......
Forecast is a little concerning wit a low moving up
"A broad and elongated area of low pressure located about 1000 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula
continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms."

Hot wind and no rain to wet down the dirt before the blow begins. It's loads of fun running around opening and closing windows trying to decide
what's worse- heat prostration or polvo and sand in every orifice. Add salty spray stickum to the mix if the wind came straight off the water and you
get the extra fun of washing windows and mopping your floors twice. Sounds like a blast Russ, I'll be right over.
Across the peninsula from you, yesterday the humidity finally dropped out of the 90's and was a lovely 58% with barely enough wind to keep a kite in
the air. Weird.

Nice wind today maxed at 19mph and the temp was a doable 85º. Wind is good when it's hot. It's just when it gets to lift off conditions for sand and
thick dust it's not welcome. The road is 2x4 passable but rough in areas. Expect a slower than normal trip in. wind also means NO buggs

Yay! Thanks for the updates! Look for me on my paddle board - I rigged it for fishing too, first time, so if you look out the window and say "what
the heck is she up to?", that will be me!!!
