Be Careful Especially on Bicycles and Scooters
Posted Tuesday, April 10, 2012

I know people come to Cozumel with a desire to get on a bicycle
or scooter to experience the island in a more open and connected
way. But there are tourist accidents and deaths all thru the year
that could be avoided.

The simple truth is that people here in Cozumel drive in a very
different way than in the states. Cars will pass you on the left
or the right. They will turn in front of you from the opposite lane.
Scooters will wander over to your lane or will turn abruptly right
in front of you.

So what I am saying is this:
BE SUPER CAREFUL !!!
Even if you are in a car, there are hazzards everywhere.
Take your time. Watch other drivers and always expect
the unexpected.

Drivers go much faster than they should and do not necessarily
stop at the stop signs.

So be careful while in Cozumel.
If you rent a scooter, car or bicycle, be super careful and
watch all around.
Don't be a statistic....

It is now 6:20 pm local time.
The rains have begun and are slow and steady.
The streets are filling up with water.

And this is just the beginning.
The storm is expected to dump large amounts
of rain on our island over the next several
hours.

No wind to speak of as yet.....

We are waiting to see if we will have to bail
water out of the downstairs.

Well we dodged a bullet.
Rina has downgraded to just a storm.

We will still probably get winds and rain
tonight, late. But that is about all we
will see from Rina.

Rina Grows Closer to the Island
Posted Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Rina is still moving very slowly.
And it appears that it is not strengthening as quickly
as some had predicted.

We may still get a CAT 1 here, but it is still too
early to say for sure.
