Well, sheesh! Serious question but I can't help but believe the captain is going to have weather guidance AND instructions- lots of factors, speed of the boat, purpose of the trip, alternatives considered - especially in light of insurance issues. Let us know the story and I hope it all goes well.

How about west through the Caribbean and just south of Cuba or the NW Caribbean - then a mid Oct trough comes down.
It's very possible also. I would say it is NOT going to the EPAC if it develops. Just my 2 cents.
How?
My reasoning's simple, I drew a graphic.
Black arrows are the possibilities.

If it stays weak, it will follow the southern track, if it strengthens, out to sea after pounding Greater Antilles. I'm not sure if it will develop or not.
Day 6 there's no chance of it coming back to haunt the U.S.

Doesn't sound like too difficult a question. For at least the next day or so, as it passes those islands, it will just be a mass of disorganized thunderstorms. Any decent-sized ship would be fine in such weather. If it's a cruise ship and the passengers want sunshine, that's another matter. They'll have to stay off the deck during the thunderstorms.

No kidding Luis. You can clearly see this thing turning in the visible loop. As the day progresses and we get more day-time images, we can see it even better. The GFS was perhaps a little more robust with this system in the coming days, so who knows? If it tracks south of the Greater Antilles and in to the western Caribbean, then we just might have something here. We need a little excitement- nothing too serious, just something to get everyone's attention again.

wxman_91 you need to also include the possibility of a track into the Western or NW Caribbean as it strengthens and then curves up into the GOM and then NE into South Florida or the West Coast of Florida as a trough comes down.
There is no way it will just scoot all the way into Central America OR if it is a little stronger just miss the US entirely. It's early to speculate but I think we have a player here.

that should keep her moving west for at lest the next 3-5 days and then development would be more likely in the W. Caribbean which is climalogically favored. Tracks at that point could go NW N or NE.
Either way I will be watching closely.

Winds have switched to WSW over Barbados this morning:

Also Dr. Jeff Masters seems to be upbeat about this wave developing, but doesn't think it will become much more than a TD.
