Here are some pics from my Progreso stop in Sept 2004 (when Ivan was trashing Grand Cayman):

I have a question, you said you wouldn't go in the water unless to cool off, why?

And thanks for the pictures ..loved your little quips.

The water is perfectly safe - just looked like Galveston water (did I say that out loud?). On the day we were there, the guide said it was actually pretty good. I guess the waves can churn things up and it just didn't look that inviting to me.

Well,yuk. Going there in May and hope it clears up by then

FYI - around Progreso is where a lot of the rich people from Merida have their summer beach houses, so it can't be all bad.

Not sure when octopus (yuk) season is, but they harvest them from the other side of the pier.

The beach there is nice, but the water just wasn't like Cozumel.
