PROFECO needs to visit the paper supply stores
Por Esto says the cost of school supplies in Isla Mujeres would be lower if the PROFECO agency monitored the sales, but there is only a branch office that has administrative purposes, and lacks any authority to punish or close a business. Although many businesses have increased prices for books and supplies, there are some who are offering discounts and promotions to help parents while the students go back to school.

Critter events...
It is currently the season for swimming with the whale sharks, and turtles are nesting on the eastern beaches in the wee hours. There are Tortugranja staff monitoring the beaches to prevent people from disrupting them, and to gather and transport the eggs for incubation.
By far, most of the turtles nesting in Isla Mujeres are Green turtles (called Blancas in Spanish), and the second most common are the huge Loggerheads, and there are some Hawksbills. The Green turtles take ~60 days to hatch and are held in the water tanks at the Tortugranja until the hatchlings are released by the public at events at dusk on Media Luna or Guadalupana. These events will occur periodically until early October and are usually announced a day or two in advance. They are rescheduled if the sea is rough.
Lately there have been many rays, in addition to many whale sharks. From MVC, we have been seeing dolphins from the balcony, and some large fish while snorkeling offshore. Lotsa mama turtles visiting our beach lately!
There are small red crabs that migrate to & from the sea in August, watch out for them at night on the coastal road at the southeastern part of the isle. The main migration of the blue crabs is during the full moons of Sept-Oct, but there are always some early ones... watch out for them in Sac Bajo.
There are usually some "crab rescue" events on these nights, to help them get across the roads safely. The red ones move between scrub and the sea and the blue ones move between the mangrove type areas and the sea. They are spawning.
Lobster season began July 1 and continues until the end of February.

Predicting a Rainy Day....or two... The storm is becoming disorganized as it passes over us, so if it is going to become a hurricane, it would most likely do it in the Gulf.
The Mayor was on FB last night commenting about the rains predicted for the early hours today, giving advice about precautions, moving building materials from sidewalks, not leaving trash out to clog the drains, etc.
Early
on Monday the team brought into question an area of closely watched
convection over the Southern Caribbean. We mentioned the 2013 Atlantic
Hurricane Season’s slow start thus far but turned attention to a more
favorable pattern including a very interesting storm potential this late
week and weekend. Currently the same area is now beginning to better
organize itself and could become a tropical system as early as Wednesday
night or Thursday. As of Wednesday evening the area has been observed
to have a center of circulation, good enough to be now classified as
Invest 92L; a more pronounced name for this low end tropical
disturbance.
Invest 92 L Infrared Satellite
Invest 92L is beginning to show signs of organization as
you can see in the infrared image above. It now has developed a main
center of circulation, with convection wrapping around it. As it moves
into warmer waters and areas of lower wind shear it will begin to have a
more distinct counter clockwise rotation and begin to show signs of an
even more distinct center. Thunderstorms packing heavy rains and strong
winds are moving towards the Yucatan Peninsula and Belize and will be
the main impact for now.
Increased Area Development In The Future
During the next 48 hours expect to see Invest 92L to
organize itself into a tropical system. All the ingredients are right
for it to develop, and as it progresses towards the west northwest and
into Gulf of Mexico it is system that the Gulf Coast states should begin
to monitor. The Yucatan Peninsula and Central America will see heavy
rains and gusty winds over the next few days whether it develops into a
tropical system or not.
Forecast Model Error & Real-Time Steering Winds | Where Does This System Go?
Currently the models are trending to have Invest 92L cross over the Yucatan Peninsula and move into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Once it is out in open water, the trend is for it to take a turn to the NNE and track towards Gulf Coast
It says....The disturbance located in the extreme northwestern Caribbean Sea has become less organized over the past hours and the chances of becoming a tropical cyclone have declined to 50 percent. The development of this system before moving over the Yucatan Peninsula is unlikely. However, it is expected that this development can happen when it is over the Gulf of Mexico.Continued rainfall for the entire region this evening. The heaviest rains will be in Quintana Roo and Yucatan eastern municipalities.
El disturbio ubicado en el extremo noroeste del Mar Caribe se ha tornado menos organizado durante las pasadas horas y las posibilidades de convertirse en ciclón tropical han disminuido al 50 por ciento. El desarrollo de este sistema antes de moverse sobre la península de Yucatán es poco probable. Sin embargo, se espera que este desarrollo pueda suceder cuando se encuentre sobre el Golfo de México.
Se mantiene el temporal de precipitaciones para toda la región a partir de esta tarde. Las lluvias más intensas se presentarán en Quintana Roo y los municipios del oriente de Yucatán.

enjoyed "easy listening" jazz and blues with the Sol Rockers last
evening at Bally Hoo. John Cain, the conversion is working. I know you
saw me tapping my foot! The food was really good too. Pasta Primavera.
Probably the best on Isla
We were there, too. Bruce enjoyed his chicken tacos & the Sol Rockers were very good & the rain didn't dampen any spirits...it just caused a few of us to relocate from the edge of the palapa. A nice evening!
They deliver! Downtown location. Their steak nachos!!
Isla Animals Daily
Update: So Eileen and Arturo had a little clinic in Eileen’s kitchen,
ha ha – doesn’t everybody. How funny is that? Any way Arturo tended to
some wounds, and spayed and neutered some pups and Gerdy’s mom. Thanks
so much Arturo and Eileen and Doug and of course Barlito, the world’s
youngest vet tech. I’m flying to Cancun on Saturday. I’m so excited to
see all my babies, do some “blue streak doggie adventures,” with Eileen
and then bring back two puppies. I also have someone taking one to
Toronto on Monday, probably that little pup on the table. It comes to
$100.00 a puppy so if anyone would like to help with that it would be
incredible. One puppy and one dog at a time, that’s the way we do it
and it is so worth it when you see these babies happy in their new
homes.
