As of now, the projected track takes him right into the mid section of the Baja - but only after he weakens to a Low. We should still keep an eye on him, as there's still a possibility of rough seas for some of our cruising friends. Right now, it looks like a path that the ships can navigate around, as most will be headed back northward today.
