Poor Yucatan Peninsula. Seems to be nature's speedbag for Atlantic hurricanes. They might have to adjust the rankings going forward. These warm waters are going to feed them like no tomorrow.

Federal. Crime. :O
Official. Act.
We are so fucked.
All things considered, that's a pretty lucky path if it doesn't drift north into the larger Caribbean islands
Except for the people in Yucatán. ..
...who would still be hit if it shifted slightly north?
Looks like Yucatán will bet hit, according to the NOAA. It's just a question of "where". And they predict it to be a Tropical Storm when it crossed Yucatán and enters the gulf. I don't know how warm that bathtub is at the moment, but that can get interesting, especially as a tropical storm is more likely to turn than a hurricane (IIRC). Let's see what happens.
Yes, I'm aware they're going to be hit currently. They would still be hit even if it shifted north to hit, for example, Cuba.

Sailing pleasure vessels take advantage of hurricane winds when traversing distances.
Not so much in close proximity usually, though racing sailboats certainly will.
