Mid-morning, Ambergris Caye, 5 Miles North of San Pedro Town - Eastern coast.
Rita is due-East of were we sit - and is about 150 miles away.
The sea has a lot of power under it with swells producing sets of waves that we usually don't have inside the reef.  Still, it's not as hectic as a good March blow.
We still have a lot of birds singing and I trust their instincts - we're fine here.

Prayers and positive thoughts go out to our brothers and sisters in Mexico to the North.

Right now, just north of the bridge, the tide is almost to the top of the sea wall and occasional small waves are coming over the top.
Hardly any wind and no rain since early morning. I'm sure this will change. LOL

Belize City is overcast, slight drizzles, light light breeze, people going about their biz. Birds are singing here too, dog outside and air temp is cool.

The sun is now out and the sea has turned from steely gray to turquoise again. The tide is high, but I will be surprised if things get much worse from what we've already seen, based on all the forecasts I am reading. Rina is a small storm and weakening.

Hurricane Rina Weakens to Category 1 Storm on Path to Yucatan

Hurricane Rina weakened to a Category 1 storm as it moved toward Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, including the resorts of Cancun and Cozumel.

The system's maximum sustained winds dropped to 85 miles (137 kilometers) per hour and Rina is still expected to be a hurricane when it strikes the coast tomorrow, according to a special advisory issued by the U.S. National Hurricane Center advisory at 1:30 p.m. New York time.

Rina is weakening in part because it is pulling in dry air from over the Yucatan and from another pocket over the ocean, said Paul Walker, expert senior meteorologist at AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania.

Weather patterns over the U.S. will help steer the storm away from the Bay of Campeche and the Gulf of Mexico.

The storm's current track has it bending to the east and nearing the western tip of Cuba, then weakening to a tropical storm.

It is possible that Rina will have been torn apart by wind shear and weakened by colder water before that happens.
