Weather briefing for possible undock tomorrow has moved to 1600Z from 1100Z
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

weather forecast is to press for undock at 0100 tomorrow. WInds are probably too high for landing near Panama City but get worse the following days so this is the best shot.  Later models will updated overnight.

NASA and SpaceX teams have seen a marginal improvement in forecast weather conditions in potential splashdown sites off the coast of Florida for the return of the Crew-8 mission. The teams are proceeding closer to undock in order to get better resolution on the weather forecast, targeting no earlier than undocking of the spacecraft at 9:05 p.m. EDT on Monday, Oct. 21. Pending weather conditions, the earliest splashdown opportunity for the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is about 12:55 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 22. The next weather briefing will take place at 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 21.

The crew has sleep shifted to support an eventual undocking and just signed off for the evening.  No updates on undock.

Dragon and the Crew-8 astronauts are set to depart the @Space_Station later today →

https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=crew-8-return

Quote
SpaceX and NASA are targeting Wednesday, October 23 at 5:05 p.m. ET for Dragon to autonomously undock from the International Space Station. After performing a series of departure burns to move away from the space station, Dragon will conduct multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, jettison the trunk, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere for splashdown off the coast of Florida approximately 34 hours later on Friday, October 25.

A live webcast of undocking will begin about 15 minutes prior to Dragon departing the International Space Station, and will resume one hour before splashdown. You can watch both webcasts here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.

Aboard the spacecraft will be Crew-8 NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, who flew to the space station on Dragon when Falcon 9 launched the spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, March 3.

Am I reading the coordinates wrong?
It looks like the first few are off the coast of the Cape up through Daytona?
