Didn't see anything about Ecstasy being diverted but there were probably some course corrections.
For those not familiar with it, the 1-2-3 rule establishes a minimum recommended distance to maintain from a hurricane in the Atlantic, as it was derived from Atlantic tropical cyclone data. Mariners in the Pacific can use this rule as a guide. Larger buffer zones should be established in situations with higher forecast uncertainty, limited crew experience, decreased vessel handling, or other factors set by the vessel master. The rule does not account for sudden & rapid intensification of hurricanes that could result in an outward expansion of the 34 KT wind field. Also, the rule does not account for the typical expansion of the wind field as a system transitions from hurricane to extratropical gale/storm.
1-2-3 RULE OF THUMB
1 - 100 mile error radius for 24hr forecast
2 - 200 mile error radius for 48hr forecast
3 - 300 mile error radius for 72hr forecast
