Another Hurricane?
Tropical storm Ivo has been updated to a Catagory 1 Hurricane, at the moment it is about 410 miles south- southwest of Cabo San Lucas on Baja Sur. Hopefully it will decided to stay away from any habitated areas or totally dissipate without doing any damage. I am sure that a lot of people will be keeping an eye on it over the next few days.
There has been a strange thing going on the last few days at one of the small fishing villages just out of San Carlos. It was reported that some fishermen from La Manga "found" a Virgen de Guadalupe statue in the sea just off the coast of San Carlos. A group of them got together and brought her back to land. She weighs in the neighborhood of 2 tons, so this was a big undertaking. They laid her in town and said that she arrived just in time to bless the beginning of the shrimp fishing season. They asked a priest to come out to La Manga and view her and were talking of building a chapel for her to reside it. A day or two later a group of people surfaced who say that 5 or 6 yrs. ago they purchased the statue and sunk her in the sea to make an interesting diving site. They want her put back where she came from. What the next move in this stand off will be remains to be seen!
