MEXICO CITY - Tropical Storm Sergio strengthened into the 10th hurricane of the year in the eastern Pacific on Wednesday, but was projected to remain well out at sea.

 

Sergio, with winds of nearly 75 mph, was located 480 miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico, and was creeping southeastward at 2 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

 

Sergio was expected to stay over water, parallel to the Mexican coast, during the next five days. A small, compact hurricane, its winds extended only 45 miles out from the center. Tropical storms become hurricanes when wind speeds reach 74 mph.

 

The eastern Pacific hurricane season begins May 15 and ends Nov. 30.

Boy, they sure are getting a lot of hurricanes this season.:eek: We are leaving on the Pride on Sunday. I'm wondering what Carnival is planning for us.

 

Polomom - do you know where their new itinerary is??

Thanks,

Holly

The only port that they know of now is that they are going to Mazatlan on Friday. Very possible they will go to Cabo, Puerta Vallarta or maybe even Ensenada. I guess it all depends on Sergio.

I'll let you know more when I hear. I hope the storm goes away for your sailing.

[Hollyann]

That makes me feel better. They are going to our ports - PV, Maz. & Cabo. I sure hope it goes out to sea!

Holly I hope your trip is ok and I will be waving at you as you come into port as I will be on the following week 26th. I thought the last of the hurricanes had been and gone :( but you never can predict the weather.
