Heads up

I assume that the port is closed?

The storm developed through the night and it is quite windy and rough.



Been down here for a week and a half already so needed a drying out anyways. Should clear out, at least by Friday the port should open.

Breezy! You are in room 204?

Uh, close. The winds are slacking off now but still strong. No damage to anything I can see either here or locally. Power is on, food is delivered, gear drying out as am I. Soon will be back in the water to close out the trip. Headed back here in a few more weeks.

The wind should die down considerably later today as the storm moves off; it is moving pretty fast. Maybe you'll be able to dive again as soon as tomorrow? I am glad to see that conditions there are not too bad.

Helene is moving fairly slowly (and was)- 10 mph. Once past, NOAA says it will pick up speed. The clouds are moving north now and it is getting better with mostly wind and some bands of rain. We had power all night. CFE was out cruising last night with a flashlight checking poles, lines and transformers. This one wasn't bad at all. So today I get to open up, put the patio furniture back out, and put away lights and batteries. etc
I had 3 days of diving with a friend who hopes the ferries are running tomorrow early to bag drag back to Cancun to catch their flight. I only got in one day of diving with him on Monday.

It looks like they have hurricane warnings from Holbox to Tulum, but traffic is moving along...

Looks like no shore diving at Blue Angel

H.John is causing problems on the other side of the country near Acapulco.

The Presidente webcam shows broken clouds but seas still a bit rough and no boat traffic. No diving this morning, anyway.

She's going to land as a Cat-4 I think and flood much of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Boats too big to take out of the water are cornered. I hope that everyone has evacuated already.
