Pensacola here, Perdido Bay, specifically. Have some 20 MPH sustained with gusts slightly higher than that. Rain been sporadic all day but starting to get more regular as time goes on. Wind currently from the NE and has been that way most of the day. I'm waiting patiently for the turn to the SE as that will put my boat in the lee of the land and calm things down, at least on this side of the bay. NE is practically the worst direction for the wind to come from where I"m at. I hope everyone else out there is fairing well. Good luck to everyone, especially those a bit farther west than I.
