Red Sky at Night

 

Red sky at night, sailors delight.

        Red sky in morning, sailor take warning.

The sign in our elevator asked us all to remove our things off our balconies.  We agreed that is better to be safe than sorry.  Our furniture has been moved inside.

They are saying that we can expect winds and a storm.  But we are far enough away that the predicted Hurricane Patrica will only give us her remnants.  She is blowing winds at 205 miles per hour as she approaches south of PV which is a full state south of us.

But Mazatlán knows the damage a hurricane can cause from a distance.  Last year the hurricane in Cabo San Lucas caused major damage here.  Several hotel swimming pools were drug out to sea by the heavy surf.  Beaches were completely changed and many bulkheads did not hold back the sea.

Dave and Jamie were evacuated from their hotel in PV to the University of Neuvo Vallarta this morning.  We haven't heard from them since this morning so we are hoping they were able to catch a bus to Mazatlán today.  They were scheduled for a 1:30 bus on Sunday, so we are hoping they could move it up to today.

It's a calm warm evening as I sit out on the balcony.  I would never know there was anything going on.  Maybe the blood red sunset means something?

Life is good.... we will hope.
