This little map was on WeatherUnderground today and I wanted to share it. If you look along the Mexican mainland coast as it climbs into the Sea of Cortez, you see a little indent near the the top. That's where San Carlos and Guaymas are located. That's us. It would seem that we're the hottest place in Mexico/Central America at the moment.
And we just got our electricity back after a blackout. Only a couple of hours... but still.
We responded by sending the Capt. down to the boat (SV BLISS is currently in a slip at Marina San Carlos for cleaning and unloading after our trip) and fetched some flashlights and the Honda generator and a jug of gasoline. When the power goes out here, the gas stations can't pump gas. Short story, we hooked up the generator to the fridge, a fan, and the 1st Mate's computer. Internet is like, important to us.
Our A/C in the condo is 220 volt and the Honda can't handle that.
Will the power stay stable? We don't know, but we can cool down the boat pretty fast with the A/C there and our generator, so in an extended blackout we could move aboard to survive. Nice knowing that.

I did half expect we'd end up back on the boat tonight, if the power didn't come back on. Nice to have a backup. Also nice to have a generator, I wouldn't be surprised if we have to crank it on again during hurricane season a few times. We can call today a dry run.
