This time it’s the weather that makes us turn north towards
shore. We had hoped to be able to dodge severe weather, and that seemed
still an option last night. However, this morning the forecast put us on
the north end of a belt of 25+ knot winds for the next couple of days.
We decided to stop monitoring, pulled in the array and are currently
heading for Pensacola. We have contacted the marina there, haven’t been
confirmed yet but we are hoping that we can find a berth there until the
7th, by which time the winds are forecast to settle down again.
