Hurricane Simon 2026: The Hardest Part Is the Waiting

The Hardest Part Is the Waiting

A special recording on the dock, in Mazatlán, while Hurricane Simon sits off the coast.

Zeus took the jib down this morning. He doubled the lines. The supplies we drove from the United States are already on board. Simon peaked as a Category 4. It is slower now, and slow storms bring rain, surf, and mudslides. We are watching to see where it turns.

This is a letter from the dock, written while the wind is still rising. The first storm, Pamala (a few years ago) put six inches of water over the shipyard pier, and the electrical box that fed Amazing Grace was sitting in it. Hurricane Pamela put Charlotte at the throttle with a bucket in the other hand while Zeus worked the fenders on deck. Not every storm in this ministry has come with wind. Some were a border, a bill, a son, a season of doubt.

Twenty-five dollars fills one home health kit. Two hundred fifty equips a Red Cross station. The only ask today is the Wave.
