| Looks like it is happening on Sunday. Leaving Ingleside at 2 in the morning, and entering the ship channel about 9am. Should be quite a spectacle. |

| As of 8 this morning, it hasn't moved. Gangplank & elevator still tied to land. Not sure what caused delay, maybe storm possibilities. |

Any idea how early? Will it be after sunrise, or is early 2:00 a.m.? |

| Not sure of time, but on Sunday's attempt, they were going to push off at 2am, and turn in to the Ship Channel at 9am, be at Port A at 4:30pm and at the last buoy around 6:30 or so. Plan to go by Ingleside in the morn early and check progress. Will get some pics too when it gets underway. |

| Its moving now. It is about to hit the ship channel and La Quinta channel intersection. Port Aransas at Charlies pasture is a prime spot to see it. |
