Yesterday ended. It had to, so today could start. Glenn had hoped to spend last night in Carrabelle. It’s a good thing he mentioned his plan to someone, because he learned that both hotels had been blown out by last year’s storms and had not reopened.
It was only a short step back to a working hotel in Apalachicola, so Glenn didn’t lose more than a few miles of actual effort. It did, however, make him stop short of his day’s target, and cost him time. At this point, Glenn started

A “disturbance” that started in the Caribbean is now wandering around the Gulf, making life complicated. This could be the first storm of the season, but at this point, no one knows. Some predict it will head north, others expect it to swing east and take a swing at Florida.
