Tesla/SolarCity is doing big deployments of solar + powerwalls to assist in the Puerto Rico recovery, it's possible that Tesla borrowed Go Searcher for assistance. Don't know exactly what it's role would be, although maybe cargo shipping a deck full of powerwalls would still be helpful, given the Jones Act.
Tesla Inc. said it has assembled a solar panel installation and battery storage project at hurricane-battered children’s hospital in Puerto Rico in a humanitarian effort that also illustrates the company’s ability to deliver power quickly.The Palo Alto electric carmaker and solar energy company tweeted photos of the project showing rows of solar panels being installed in what appears to be a parking lot adjacent to the Hospital del Niño in San Juan.

OCISLY appears to be heading out. HAWK (the tug boat) has left the port.https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:430027/zoom:10
That boat looks like the ideal size to put the bouncy castle on the aft deck and be able to maneuver under the returning fairing. Does anybody know the horizontal velocity of a parachute wing. Whats the right name of this parachute type? Anyways maybe about 20 knots?
OTOH, Mr Steven beat Go Quest and OCISLY to port, so it's possible some of the spacex crew is still at sea. They might be waiting to offload until the gang's all home. Or else the usual transport truck is still scheduled to arrive on "port day" so Mr Steven is stuck waiting for it. IOW standard procedures might be altered given the unusual speed of Mr Steven.
