It's been pretty stormy the past few days based on videos I have seen posted by my friends there. Not a lot of natural light and some wind and rain - not a ton of fun.
I am looking forward to my mid-October trip.

I am supposed to be headed in the direction of grand Cayman on Saturday, not feeling real good about it.

I hope it veers off but I think we are going to get some bad weather from it.

Yeah - I'm headed to the Aggressor boat on Saturday as well - fingers crossed that it weakens or stays far enough south to limit the impact. But that might be nothing but me hoping as I really have no weather forecasting knowledge. But I like to read each National Hurricane Center update and the forecasters discussion post and act like I know what it means.
Of course, I do like this quote from the Cayman Compass posted on their news site today "...Isaac is not currently forecast to impact the Cayman Islands, but residents should observe the progress of the storm, currently positioned east of the southern Caribbean in Atlantic waters..."

I haven't looked at them lately, but the models a day or so ago were showing it getting picked up and pulled north across the DR eventually. If you want to look for yourselves, www.TropicalTidbits.com has easy access to the various model runs so you can see out beyond the 3-5 days the NHC will show. Whether they are any good that far out is anybody's guess, but at least it is a piece of info to look at.
ETA: Actually I just went and looked, and the European model shows Isaac dissipating south of Jamaica, the current GFS shows the same, and the newer experimental version of the GFS shows it going over GC as a very week TS or depression. Definitely worth keeping an eye on, but I doubt it will be something that will completely ruin a trip. Now would be a good time to buy trip insurance if you don't have it though.
