Good news for aspiring celestial cadets
and sun bathers! We can expect fair-weather for the next few
days as we transit south towards Zihuantanejo. The seas and
winds will remain calm helping push us closer to liberty
time. Temperatures will continue to climb into the 70’s as
the cloud cover should be minimal. This weekend we should
expect an increase of tropical clouds approaching from the
south bringing the possibility of widely scattered
thunderstorms as we move into a more tropical climate. Keep
those sextants out of the box. Buenos Noches.

of high level cirrus clouds streaming off an area of
tropical convergence several hundred miles to the south. A
mariner's careful observation and understanding cloud
progression can provide clues to impending changes in the
weather.
