Punta Chivato Weather & Info Again
I was waiting for a sunrise shot but nothing but clear skies and so no photo today.
Water here is still a concern and it's been difficult to find out when they'll pump water to Shell Beach. Some parcels say water has been pumped. We
have to open a valve to fill our tank so we miss the opportunity to fill our tank. If they would ever finish the "new" water line, which we have paid
for, we'd have a float valve to handle that. The road at the estuary is still bad. Especially at high tide when the crossong can be quite deep. I
would not recommend trying to tow anything in and motor homes don't think about getting across. There are still some major woop-t-dos. Hoping for a
big loader and rock but there are still some roads that are in major need of repairs so our priority for getting the heavey equipment is low.
Some are concerned about a storm developing down south. From what I see today I feel there isn't anything to be concerned about.

I hear that bad roads do not necessarily keep out Bad People!

Just heard that the water may be pumped in 3 days. Conserve!

I meant that it was a clever statement. Nothing to be angry about. Being here almost alone the bad element was one of my greatest concern not the
damage.

And now...... the weather. Yesterday my thought was that this new storm would head out to sea WNW. But the new track forecast show it may swing
towards us by Tuesday. Although not in the form of a hurricane. My hope is that it will die before there is any torrential rain on Baja.

Simon has become more organized so I've change my thoughts a bit and am thinking we will get wet. Although it won't be a hurricane by Tuesday some
storms pick up a lot of water and can produce a lot of rain. We'll have a much better handle on the path in a couple days so be aware of changes.
The new generator has arrived for the well and the latest I heard was that it maybe 5 days before the system is pumping again. I'm hoping less because
the water line itself has been repaired but add water and there may be areas not found that need work. So If you're heading down don't be upset if
your faucets are dry. Forewarned.

Just heard from Steve Klers. He crossed the estuary this morning DRY TIRES!
Still some bumps they could have flattened but now you don't have to worry about the tided and the big hole.

Thanks for the updates Russ. Do you really need more rain? It's been drier in Seattle.

What a difference a day makes. Lowest morning temp this season, 72º then Simon forecast shows a down grade for Wed. which I hope means no torrential
rains. Two friend have loaned me generators so if we get some cloudy days I can charge the batteries until I get my generator repaired. My biggest
hope for today is that water is pumped into our pilas.

360º clouds this morning. My guestimates are probable wrong. I now gues that we my start getting some showers as soon as early this afternoon. As I
look towards Mulege the cloud cover is much lighter right now. A good sign.
Banda Anch is extremely slow this morning...

Around 5:30 it started raining. Not heavy only a shower.... I hope! From here it looks like Mulege may be having some real rain and another squall is
heading in from Mulege now.
