Ernesto closes on the Windward Islands and the Caribbean

I know that AKR will move their boats to the south side. I am not overly concerned but I am aware of the possibility. Who knows, it might be more of an adventure than we had planned.

I figure even if it goes as far north as some predictions it will still cause rough seas in Roatan keeping the dive boats from going out. I am suppose to be there Monday to Friday. I am considering a last minute change and giving up my deposits and going to the Bahamas. I have heard NOAA is sending a plane out this afternoon and should have an updated report by 5pm.

Might want to reconsider the bahamas... Invest 91L is on the western edge of the bahama bank.
working theory is to move north, then nw across fla.. in the next few days...

It looks like it is headed straight for Cozumel... I hope this blows through by Aug 12th... I am heading to Cozumel for a week of diving...

Even if he goes that way, he'll be gone by the 8th. Things will be back to normal by then surely.

Watch Florence tho, in case she veers south.

We decided to stay with Roatan, but taking ponchos and shoes for walking on muddy streets. Hopefully we can get a day or two of diving in. I did call the dive op. (thanks for the idea) and they said they will move to the south side if they need to.

We are on Roatan now. Will keep you all posted.

The bad news is he's shifted to come straight for you - subject to change.

The good news is he's losing power. A Tropical Storm is just a blow out with flooding.
