Well, we are crossing the Gulf finally. We have a small window of moderate weather, with hurricane forces ahead us and gale forces behind us. Hopefully the storm in front of us will outpace us or diminish, while we go faster than the storms behind us. This time of year, storm after storm shoots out of the east along our track home, we just have to slip in between them.
We have run out of places to hide out, so we have to run for it. So far, it’s been bumpy, but not too bad - 5-10 foot seas and 20 knot winds.
We should be at Cape Spencer in a day or so, and I might have cell service for a bit. It’ll probably be in the middle of the night, so unless you work graveyard, don’t expect a call.
Our current ETA is the 30th of October. Once we get to the inside passage at Cape Spencer, our arrival becomes more certain.
