Mill Pond here we come. Again.

Ah gee ... I'm heading down on the 31st ... staying at the Hotel California, and planning to hit Ginnie, Peacock and probably Madison.

I heard from a local yesterday that the weather hasn't been conducive to diving those caves lately ... figured I'd check in and see what's happening.

Doesn't look promising ...

"A track into the eastern Gulf of Mexico now looks very likely on Monday and I do think that Isaac will make its final landfall on the Florida Panhandle between Fort Walton Beach and Panama City on Wednesday morning. It needs to be pointed out that the ocean heat content in the eastern Gulf of Mexico is quite high and significant intensification is quite possible. Should this occur, then a significant and formidable hurricane could be making landfall on the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday morning."

I hope he is wrong. NOAA is still guesstimating a cat 1.

The track keeps shifting to the west...

That's what we like. I'm arriving Sept. 6; have the Dive Outpost cottage.

Hopefully it will dissipate some as it travels over Cuba...but I doubt it. We've been getting rain almost everyday here in the panhandle for a few weeks. The ground is pretty saturated. I was finally able to mow my jungle the other day during a brief respite from the rain (grass was still damp but it had to be done). We really don't need a huge downpour from a hurricane right now. As it is the flow in the river caves is up pretty significantly making it a very tiring swim in. However, if it tracks west then High Springs/Luraville area should be okay.

Media reports on systems like this are inaccurate 99.9 percent of the time and only serve to fuel Home Depot profits....that remaining .1 percent, well we all know what that could mean.
Bottom line is "Keep an eye" on the weather and use good judgment.

I tried to get a 6 month deployment to Honduras. The PA said he would go to Belize on breaks to dive.
But no, I got to stay at Ft. sill!
My first assignment, while in the Air Force, was WY. 90 miles from home and bloody cold.

It's going to have to shift REALLY west to affect my trip to Colorado on the 31st. :ele

I'm still trying to convince the Boss that he doesn't want me to fly him down to Miami on Fri., returning Sun. afternoon. The Fri. part would be OK, it's the Sun. part I don't think would be enjoyable.

Ths is what worries me. With everything saturated here, if we get a lot of wind, we are going to have a lot of trees down.
