Heads up

I hate it when that happens.

Yep, just another $hitty day in Cozumel

We dove Palancar Caves and Yucab yesterday and had moderate to middling current at Yucab, moderate current at Palancar Caves at times that we mostly avoided by doing about 40 minutes of swim thrus. We had to dive out of harbors in the morning, but could return to the town dock. Moderate swells when returning to the boat, but very doable getting back in. But the current really kicked in when we did our dive interval at Palancar Beach Club (I'm diving with Aldora.) The visibility has been great. Crossing my fingers for diving this morning.

I know, it's supposed to be lazy man drift diving. Having a beer at Ohana's, will tell Mateo hi for you

Please do. We love ya', Mateo!

Pretty much, yes. Roatan has received 7-10” so far, Utila apparently 15”. Nothing compared to the north coast though - last report I saw from La Ceiba was 34”

Windguru must take its reading from the windward side. Says currently 17k gust to 28. Here at Blue Angel Sunday morning calm as a feather pillow. Yesterday and today has seen a fair bit of swell and surge tho

You aren't kidding. From the NHC:

"Sara has produced a tremendous amount of rain in Honduras. Data from
the country's government indicate reports of more than 40 inches of
rain at some locations."

 

[DandyDon]

Well, she picked up a little speed—faster than I walk anyway—and moved onto land, where she'll dissipate, flooding much of the peninsula...

 

[therookie]

We weren't sorry to see her go - Sara definitely overstayed her welcome off the north coast of Honduras - but we can empathize with everyone in Belize and the Yucatán peninsula receiving her now. Is Coz affected now too? My phone weather app shows rain there and fairly gusty winds along with an "Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Warning"

This is all a good reminder that a storm doesn't have to reach hurricane status to do a lot of damage...
