The sargassum is back! I've been looking at seas-forecasting.com and it shows the sargassum mat drift in a SE direction.

@ Tim, because sargassum seaweed problematic This situation looks like an sisyphean task :( "The algae washes ashore, piles up on beaches, and decays, often causing a foul odor, releasing fumes of sulphur compounds that rust metals, that can turn taps black in shore houses, damages modern conveniences, and causes respiratory problems, particularly for asthmatics. 52 patients were recorded by a single doctor in Guadeloupe with Sargassum-related symptoms. Insurance problems arise for tourist operators and homeowners, where the household and business losses do not fall into previous insurance categories." ref: Wikipedia Tonight the sargassum swaps also into the chair area. :( My tip, take a sunbed, lie next the algae carpet und take deep breath. ;)

Capture Sam
13dec17--Tulum,Mexico view over the beach of Riviera Maya in Quintana Roo brought to us by Hotel Calaluna Tulum IS viewed often by many. The complex at Hotel Calaluna Tulum does not have 'grid' electricity. Their web site states '' no hair dryers , no air conditioning , NO HIGH energy using appliances. Alternative power sources are used. This might explain the low performance of the cam at times. Using the 'locate' function / google map and going to a full blown google map -- 360 degree image spheres show the complex and beach. Also their site can be used. EnJoy EnJoy
