Just checked the official site for weather warnings for Mexico. Looking better than yesterday. This was updated at 0600 hrs 29 Aug local time. From the projected path, flights shouldn't be affected for Saturday Cancun is on the fringe of the storm area for Sunday, so flights should be able to scoot around to the west to avoid any unsettled air. Not a weather guy or pilot or anything like that, but to my way of thinking this is looking better than other forecasts I have seen.

Here is the link to the official site: http://www.cancunweathertoday.com/official_bulletin.php

As far as Sunday goes, the party is where we make it :lol: Can always take channel 12 breaks to burn off some of the booze :wink: Hopefully, I (Scott), won't fall asleep afterwards. LMFAO@me.

Well off to print boarding passes, bit o' laundry and housework. See everyone there. Can't wait !!!!!

How could we ever forget you guys?? :wink: :wink:

[Roy and Marie]

Have a safe trip everybody we'll see you Monday :bigwave:

[Steve]

No sign of any bad weather as yet.

I'm starting to think we may well not see any signs of Gustav at all. Hopefully the sea will be calm enough and the booze cruise will run tomorrow.

[Roy and Marie]

That's amazing , I was looking at the water vapor http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/watl/loop-wv.html and it looks so close to you guys there . It's a Cat 4 storm now and pounding Cuba . Hopefully the seas will be calm enough tomarrow for the booze cruise . Wish we were there , have fun

[Steve]

Oh well, I must have spoke too soon.

The wind has just got up it's raining and there is thunder in the distance.

[Michael F.]

The webcam appears to be picking up that activity now:

they just changed it to a cat 5. steve and all our other friends, stay safe.

The rain didnt last long, about 20 minutes and it was fine again. Now the skies are clear, stars are out and it looks like it will be a nice day tomorrow.

Unfortunately, we just got word that as a precautionary measure all maritime activities have been cancelled for tomorrow - which means the booze cruise wont go ahead.

I'm going to see how many people will be able to go the following day and if we can we'll go Monday instead.

Steve, if Tuesday turns out to be the better day let us know sometime today we would love to go unfortunately we don't get there till a little after noon tomarrow so we can't go Monday anyhow we're all glad you guys didn't get much off this storm..

Looks like we are going today after all.

The harbormaster has just lifted the restriction but most of the catamarans including the one we were scheduled to use are still at Isla Mujeres where they were taken to shelter from the storm. We have found an alternative catamaran, it had no bookings because of the cancellations and was going to sit idle today so it's worked out just fine. Not a cloud in the sky and barely any wind.

What are your current thoughts on Ike, Steve? We fly out 9/9.

Too early to say really.

Although the latest 5 day track has it turning North on Day 5 and possibly following a similar path to Hannah from then on. If that holds it wont be a problem here, but the tracking forecasts are still unreliable this far out. There should be a very good idea by the 7th though giving you time to plan accordingly if needed.
