Were you stuck in the sand in San Juanico today?
The local cops stopped by to chat this afternoon and mentioned they had just pulled out a truck who'd gotten stuck in the seaweed on the town beach.
Apparently the abundance of seaweed near the water has become covered by sand and vehicles are sinking in it daily.
The recent sinking victims were gringos (who told them they came from Lopez Mateos) were driving a white F250 with a lumber rack. They neglected to
return the only good tow strap the police have and the cops expect they'll be needing it for Semana Santa.
They'd appreciate the return of their tow strap. Gracias

No fessing required. The cops are nice guys and they just need the strap to help future victims. The rescuee can drop the strap off at any Comondu cop
shop and they'll pick it up.
By the time they pulled the folks out yesterday, the tide had come up and water was flowing thru the cab of the Ford, he reported. Their new Toyota
diesel cop truck was able to pull them out but bent the heck out of their tow bar in the process.
Guess sinking in the seaweed is such a problem on the "town beach" where the palapas are, they won't allow camping/driving there for Semana Santa.
Camping will be South of Panga Beach. The town wanted to bring heavy equip to remove the weed but SEMARNAT said "negative, it's part of the ecology".
A friend said for Sunday fun they sat on the sand dune and watched vehicles and the seaweed saga. For now, the juiciest headline we've got is
"SEAWEED, friend or foe ?"

According to reports, the Weed is claiming all ethnicities and vehicles and by far more Mexicano have been victims. Only reason this made the news is
the missing tow strap.

No camping for semana santa! That is gonna be hard to stop, I think. But if the vehicles are getting stuck, there really is no alternative.
Sure hope a towline magically appears!

Willard, can you ask DavidK to get us a map and GPS points to that poor girl's location? She looks very hot and without adequate shade.

They just plan to move the camping zone down the beach a bit Blanca, which may prove to be difficult. To deny camping on Semana Santa would go
against the laws of nature.

Just curious, why did they leave the tow strap with them and not take it after pulling them out?

I'll be down next week... I'll bring a spare tow strap to donate.
Couldn't think of a better way to try and accumulate road karma

I suspect she didn't have to wait long for assistance.
