Hurricane Dean and Costa Maya

Well, we’re supposed to spend Wednesday of our cruise week relaxing on the beach and sipping margaritas at Uvero Beach in Costa Maya – but as of today, Hurricane Dean is wreaking havoc on this beautiful little coastal community. These areas take so long to rebuild – who knows what we’ll find there come April.

From the National Hurricane Center Website – August 21, 2007:

Reports from a U.S. Air Force hurricane hunter plane indicate that the eye of Dean made landfall near the cruise ship port of Costa Maya or Majahual around 3:30 this morning CDT. The hurricane was intensifying right up to the moment of impact.




These were the views we were able to enjoy just eight months ago. Kind of makes you wonder what’s left?
