Mexico (incl. Cozumel and Cancun) Update
Cancun, Cozumel and the Riviera Maya

Well I figured it was about time to get an update out there, been crazy in Playa. We have been having a week or so of Rain, Rain and more rain so throwing IDA in the mix with more rain and wind will surely make things interesting.
It has been raining off and on (mostly on) since yesterday even since a few days ago, we haven’t opened the restaurant or beach club now since a few days ago. Most of the area from Cancun to Puerto Aventuras is experiencing some level of flooding and increase in the number of traffic accidents as well as injuries.
Mexico has issued a Hurricane Watch for the coast of Quintana Roo from Tulum (modified from before where Punta Allen was in there) to El Cuyo on the northeast corner of the Peninsula of Yucatan and Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect from Punta Allen to Cabo Catoche. We see that IDA continues on her northerly course and we are of course waiting to see if and when she makes that jog toward the northwest to have a better idea of where she will come ashore if she does in Mexico or Cuba.
No matter where she heads we will no doubt enjoy 48 to 72 hours more of Rain heavy to torrential most of the time with severe flooding and some wind damage. We can expect damage to the already damaged beaches in Playa Del Carmen and Cancun but part of natures plan.
On an odd note, Cancun’s Mayor Greg Sanchez told the public and press that they were prepared in case something happens but that there was nothing happening that it is not even a tropical storm and that there was no danger… I need some of what he is taking because he either has a crystal ball or his swami is giving him the inside tips.
