The other part of the weather forecast is that it is unseasonably cold. 30 degrees here. Fortunately the heat is working great onboard Eleanor so we are comfortable. Have to go with the flow on the ICW. Looks like a good morning to go find a nice warm diner and have some biscuits and gravy for breakfast.
