Hurricane Warning now includes Cozumel, from Tulum south to Belize City: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT5+shtml/072052.shtml?
But all the computer models seem to agree on landing south of the Sian Ka'an Reserve.

We are currently experiencing a gentle rain, not much wind... we'll see how this plays out, but right now it's just a rainy (almost misty, rather) afternoon.
It rained hard again a few minutes ago for a few minutes! 
Here are some photos from today between 1pm and 4pm!
I just shared an "Ernesto album" on our Blue XT~Sea facebook page! Too many to post here

BTW - Yes, now a Cat 1, but the center of the storm is still expected to pass at the Mexico/Belize border, a good 300+km south of us (193 miles). Hurricane force winds extend out 35 miles from the center and TS force winds extend out 140 miles. Hopefully that puts things in perspective.
We are not expected to have gusts of over 40mph and lower sustained winds - we experience those in a norte!

Everyone (including the snarky posts) has been so great posting updates and opinions. My family (the 5 of us) have been scheduled to come to Coz for months starting Aug 9th-27. I have been such a dope and didn't even know about Ernie until a few days ago when my husband decided to clue-me-in (of course waiting until he was certain there was little threat of it hitting Cozumel. And just as he thought, I have been glued to all weather sites and Scuba board for hourly updates. I want to thank Christi for her sound calming info and everyone else for the humor. See you at the meet-n- great Thursday night!

Not to be argumentative cause I'm up here and you're down there but the latest map I've seen shows the center of the storm (12 hours out) passing right over top of Felipe Carrillo Puerto. How far south is that ? The distance between the storm points on the map is 12 hours so they're talking hitting the mainland about 3 am..ish.
Hope it passes as far south as possible.
