Ernesto closes on the Windward Islands and the Caribbean
He is still forecast to make Cat-1, but expectations vary. He just made named TS status, but Dr.Masters thinks he will break up. There'll be some rain & stormy weather in the southern Antilles, but who knows how much more? The whole Caribbean sea, the Yucatan, Bay Islands, and Belize are possible for now...
We leave for Roatan Saturday. We will be watching. Got insurance for just in case.
That's got to be an uncomfortable situation as the airlines, weather forecasters, insurance companies and you will have no idea how much of a Roatan threat it will be by then. Tuesday, it could be closing on you, or Havana - subject to change.
I'd go and hope for the best, knowing my Trip Ins would help me out if I got hit and incurred losses or extra expenses. Good luck...!!
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.
We leave for Roatan on Monday. Doubt we will be doing as much diving as we had planned.
There is the south side of the island. A lot of dive shops will move their diving to the other side which is sheltered more and keep diving there when bad weather is effecting the other side. You might want to contact your dive op and see what they are doing and planning to do if you can. Worst case if your operator has no ability to do this, maybe you can make changes to another dive op that will.
