A present to you from the State of Sonora.
It rolled by, south of us on a westerly course. I got up at about 2am, MST, to check conditions (as I'm fishing today) and saw lots of lightning out
in the central Sea. Glad to see they've actually moved over to the Pacific side, at this point.

It rained here a little during the night but now the wind has shifted back to the NW, the temperature has dropped from 82º to 73º in the last 10
minutes, and the fog is rolling back in. I guess we just had a 3 day summer teaser.

Relampagos and Tribunadas
The local fishermen watch the western sky each evening to predict tomorrow's ocean conditions. When the lightning is west-southwest, no worries. When
the thunder and light show moves northward, they don't expect the fishing conditions to be good the next morning.

Shoulda taken a walk around the corner to our street, Chuckie.
Rained like heck over here-- for a short while-- rolled in fast and rolled on.
Stayed around long enough to drench the laundry hanging out. Got that rain-fresh scent now.

light cloud and 75 degrees here on the mid pacside today...perfect for staining and varnishing the ceiling board to go up next week! Got Juan on the
rockpile too making a new planter outside the new rooms.

"Tribunada?"  |
As I understand the terms, relampagos are the lightning streaks and tribunadas refer to the whole experience of the summer storms that happen out on
the Sea of Cortez, the hot night air and off-shore cloud-bank and the booming thunder and big-a@@ lightning that lights up the clouds orange from
bottom to top.
It adds up to quite an experience. Fishermen here watch the evening clouds and read the night sky. No one wants to be out in the water when its
happening. Can be lethal.
The location of the cells indicates what the water will be like the following morning, too. Here in Mulege, if the tribunada of the night occurred in
the northwest, you can pretty well be sure fishing and diving is going to be lousy because the waters will be turbulent the next day.
Now you know as much as me.

What a difference 70 nm makes. One of the most comfortable days possible over here, with the cloud cover and the lack of wind till we got off the
water at 2pm. Four dorado and one sail. Dorado still not large.
There was an extremely broad shouldered swell from the south that was occasionally about four feet. Very slow rollers. Very rare. We concluded that it
must have been swell from the hurricane that finally made it up here. It dissipated during the day.
We got trace amounts of rain and a good deal of lightning last night, too.
