Hurricanes in Hurricane Season, Imagine That

10/19/2016

We've been busy the last two months traveling all over creation - or at least the southeast - by car. We got some camping in, good family and friend visits, and even some more beach time.

​Somehow we managed to be impacted by both hurricanes to hit the United States this year. The first, Hermine, passed directly over us in Panacea, FL while staying at my parents' house on Ochlockonee Bay. The bay rose about 5 feet bringing 18 inches of water into the ground floor and making a mess of the community pool.
The second storm, Matthew, first affected all our friends down in Grenada as it developed into a Tropical Storm and passed about 50 miles to the north. Luckily other than a couple very rainy and windy days, we heard it was not too stressful. The evacuation of the southeast allowed us to host friends from Jacksonville, but also made our drive to the Outer Banks of North Carolina after the storm passed excruciatingly long. After navigating closed and flooded roads and bridges we were rewarded with a beautiful rental house on the beach full of family .

Ken is back in Grenada now. He's catching up with everyone and plowing through the list of boat chores. Kaylee and I are back in Florida and getting some much needed school work done. Here are some pictures from our travels over the last month:
Ken will be back from Grenada November 2nd. Molly's wedding is November 12 and then we will all fly back to the boat together Thanksgiving Day! We should be sailing again in December. Where to? Not sure yet. But we will try to keep everyone up to date. And our SPOT location will be active again too.
