For the first time in my 21 years here we have had a steady west wind for a week. Not enough to close the port but plenty to stink up the downtown, and much of the rest of the island. The problem is sargassum (weed) which is occasionally seen here but never in such large quantities. Of course its now starting to stink and the attached photo is looking north from the Aldora Pier. The city has a front loader trying to clean it up but it is difficult with the rocky shore. My guess is that as soon as the normal easterly winds resume then the stuff will be blown out to sea and on its way to Cuba.
The mainland has it much worse and Puerto Morales has mountains of it—and in the local news.
Does not affect the diving but I just thought you might want to know of this once in a lifetime event in Cozumel.
