Melaque under water

What else can happen after a hurricane and now flooding. It's rained hard all evening and still more this morning. I measure 7" in my empty pool. Just heard a large thunder clap so it's not close to being over. This on top of people that lost their roofs.

The Rio Marabasco has overflowed and flooded some communities. Highway 200 to Manzanillo is not passable in a number of places and I wouldn't doubt it if the airport is closed. I'm definitely not driving the kids to school today

Concha del Mar will not reopen

The owner left notice on Facebook that he will not reopen his restaurant after operating for seven years on the west end of the beach. Almost every restaurant in that area suffered heavy damage. At least three are down to a cement slab.

Beach cleaning party today

They always seem to post these 5 minutes ahead .... but here you go

Limpieza la playa de Melaque

A cyclone is near - What to do

Restaurant Bar "La Braza"

I don't remember the old name from a few years ago but Chef Cedric ran it then and is running this one. Is supposed to have the same great pizza from the wood fired brick oven. It's the upstairs palapa on the block behind the church.

Happy Cow has moved (again)

Yes it is the old refrigeration shop

They moved across the street from the "dirty market" and very possibly into the space that the refrigeration guys were using.  I'll have to ask or look closer next time. That puts both Vaca Feliz stores within a block of each other. Same street as the church but a block closer to the beach

Tranquillo en la playa

A tranquil afternoon on the beach

Nice aerial view of Bahia de Navidad

Barra on the left and Melaque on the right

Nice aerial view of Bahia de Navidad that I don't think I've seen before

Same flight - different angle?

Swim across the bay from Barra to Melaque

Got lots of energy?  Be on the beach in Barra tomorrow morning at 8 AM. I think I've seen a video of the finish line in West Melaque but that's all

6th annual swim from Barra de Navidad to Melaque - Oct. 3rd
