I don't, but they will go south, not north, the day you leave port if the weather is too rough to port, they will go south, possibly a sea day, or just overnight, I doubt another port, then return to Bermuda as soon as it is safe to go into port As you can see from the cone above, on Monday she is already past bermuda, so everythng depends on the weather where the port is will determine what the Captain deems necessary for safety
Bermuda Update for Thursday July 10th 200820:00 ADST
Well nothing much has changed today in regard to the tracking of Hurricane Bertha, she is expect to intensify in the next 24 hours and eventually stall just to the ESE of Bermuda. This is where the predictions end as she will be in weak steering winds and any movement will be erratic so she could very well threaten us with some storm force wind on Sunday these are my thoughts and not official. The residents here have been advised to keep a close watch on Bertha over the weekend because of the unpredictability of her track especially if her movement is slow or stationary.
. . . So its another few days of waiting to see just how things materialize with Bertha they say by Monday another east moving trough will pick up whats left of Bertha and take her NE into the Atlantic
