Into Florida waters
CN passed into FL waters this morning after the brief stop in Charleston for fuel, showers and hot chocolate. The light airs of the past day or so have been replaced by 15-25 kt winds on the port beam as CN pushes south toward Palm Beach. An eye is being kept on the progress and development of Hurricane Ida (http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200911.html), whose projected path is far to the west of CN. The hurricane will supply plenty of wind indirectly as the high pressure over the Atlantic pours into the low pressure center of the hurricane. If weather concerns dictate CN will put into one of the ports along the route…either Port Canaveral or Ft. Pierce. Otherwise progress at the current 7.5 kts will have CN arriving at Cracker Boy Boat Works (http://crackerboyboatworks.com/rbhomeposs.html) near Palm Palm Beach late Monday or early Tuesday for haulout.
