Holiday and Hurricane Emily

[Sue9]

Hi,

Does anyone know how the Holiday is faring. I believe it should have been in Cozumel today. I have a son working on board. I trust all are safe.

 

Thanks

More than likely she has left Cozumel and is heading north to stay out of rough seas. I doubt that you have anything to worry about but I know that it's tough when you cannot communicate with your loved ones.

Thanks for your response cruisingator2. It is a worry for us, especially as we are in Australia, we seem so far away.

 

Thanks

Sue

Sue,

 

The Holiday was in Cozumel this morning. The cam is down so I don't know if she has sailed. http://www.cozumelinsider.com/Webcam

 

I wouldn't worry. They should leave well ahead of the storm. Sometimes the Holiday's location can be found at the link below. The last location was a week ago.
