We headed in from EC-222 last night around midnight. Seas were running about 10-12ft. wind was NE 20-30knots. Made it to the FWB sea bouy 0530. Had a 1.5 hour wait at the FWB locks. Just arrived at Intracoastal City, LA about 1/2 hour ago. Hurricane warning from ICY to Morgan City. Winds are not bad right now approx. 15-20 knots here. Waiting for TS Bill to make landfall in the next few hours.

I'll try to give a live update when things get rough. At least as long as I can get a good siganl on my cellphone. I'm using a laptop/cellphone connection to post.

Tornado warning now for Orleans and Saint John the Baptist parishes. Apparently significant flooding is in progress over southeastern Louisiana, including New Orleans, which is below sea level.
