Chetumal, any port in the storm

I´ve still got a lot of photos to post from this trip to catch up with myself but am fast forwarding to today. Hurricane Beta is in the region and at the moment has my full attention. This is a map of Beta´s five day forcast. We are currently in the town of Chetumal which is located at about 3 minutes after 12 on the map´s outer circle. This puts us in the outer range of the hurricane´s projected path so once again our plans have changed. We were hoping to camp at Calakmul for a few days so we could explore it to our greedy heart´s content but looks like instead we´ll stay in town for now. Chetuaml is a funky Carribean town on the Belize border, not a bad place to hang your cap in a storm ... I hope.
