Hurrican IDA update

Hi guys,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on Hurricane IDA out here. I am please to report that in the end, all our preparations and monitoring was for nothing! IDA came and left without much notice. In fact, the days prior to IDA's arrival were very windy and stormy, but last night and today, we have had a pretty quiet time.
The center of the hurricane is now over the Peninsula, but we are still monitoring the situation in case we get the rear end of the depression. And of course, we keep in touch with local authorities to find out the latest updates and recommendations.
Both bases suffered no damage, but it will take a few days for the sea to calm down before we can head out the reef to see if the hurricane did any noticeable damage to the reef ecosystem.
Here's a satelite image of IDA at 1430 our time. As you can see the center of IDA went past Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Cancun!
