We had planned to leave on May 22 from North Palm Beach and head to Key West then across the Gulf of Mexico to Isla Mujeres. Reports from Isla are excellent - chance at a grand slam, 30 lb dolphin everywhere and great weather. But we have 6-8 ft seas here and the conditions are forecasted to last through the weekend. We use the Navy weather model forecast results from www.fnmoc.navy.mil. They provide an unclassified 7 day forecast for the North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Shown above is the Gulf forecast for May 26. We will sit tight, wax and polish the boat and keep watching the weather. Check back - I will try to tell more about the Isla Mujeres ecosystem in the next few days.
