La Paz, BCS Mexico

Current conditions: Sky mostly cloudy, wind 050-110 at 5 knots, occasional
gusts to 12, barometer 1005 and steady, humidity 59%

Summary: Today there was little change in conditions as mariners and local
residents wait for Otis to make a move. Trace amounts of rain were observed
in a couple of locations. There has been much discussion on the VHF radio
as to Otis� next move. There has been some speculation that, contrary to the
NOAA forecast, Otis may turn and head through �the gap� between Todos Santos
and La Paz, delivering a direct hit to La Paz. While that possibility
exists, it appears unlikely to happen given the current conditions. La Paz
IS STILL under a Tropical Storm Warning. Preparations for severe weather
should be left in place for at least another 24 hours. The storms center is
(roughly) bearing 225 M from La Paz and 150 nm away.
