Somewhere outside of Morgan City
Today’s been one of the longest in awhile. We were on the water by 4:30 a.m. to try and make some big miles before dark. Hurricane Emily is blowing out to Mexico what we can tell but we have no idea what’s following her. It’d be nice to have better information about the weather but we have what we have.

Watch the wind blowing in the leaves and the clouds. Likely better forecasters than the meteorologists (and easier/nicer to watch from the water).
Yep. At some point the weather forecasts were just more info to process. Stick your paddle in the water. If you get blown off, take a break.
