The conditions have not yet subsided in Soper's Hole to the point where we can safely get underway with the girls, we are catching some of the trailing bands from the system and still experiencing high winds and rain. The girls are in high spirits and the trailing bands are making leaving Soper's Hole today unlikely. We will plan to get off the boat tonight in lower wind conditions after the storm has passed and have a meal ashore for a change of pace from being aboard and down below all day. We plan to press on with the schedule first thing tomorrow as the weather turns from storm to normal sailing conditions.

Checking Conditions on Deck on Astrid at 2pm
2 PM conditions in Soper's Hole. The natural shelter of Soper's Hole, the hurricane moorings, and many storm preparations the girls made to the boats are making the high wind conditions quite comfortable and safe in Soper's Hole. The girls are having a blast below decks riding out the storm. With the worst of the storm behind us we are excited to get back on the water just as soon as conditions subside.
Bertha leaving the area at 2pm, we are the blue dot. We are expecting to have clear weather starting around sunset tonight.
