The plan was to try to start the tow again tomorrow, but heavy winds along the coast will cause them to postpone until Sunday. Maybe.

She's going under the GG right now, 2:50 PST, just 20 mins ....

later than scheduled. Right about ctr span.

SFFD fire boat spraying and leading the way. Mod winds. Lots of sailboats on the Bay. Choppers overhead. Blimp too.

The tugboat is working very hard. Took forever to go the last mile or so. Don't know if it was the wind, current/tide or waiting about for a photo op/ceremony. I'd say it was the wind. I'm sure they fig'd to go out w/ the tide.

Shame it's a tad bit hazy. W/ the wind you'd think it'd be clearer.

Hope she has a safe voyage down to LA.
