Hurricane Florence

Now I can hardly remember the name of the storm.  Around my coastal haunts it is just referred to as "The Storm", but I'm so thankful to be past it and see my favorite place mostly recovered.  There is is a scar or two, but maybe we are more beautiful with the character it gives us.

First we tipped over the totem mermaid we received from a friend.  It is likely too heavy to be washed away but wind or debris could knock it over and crack it.

We spent a day at the boat moving the kayaks off the hard top and taking some of them home for the garage.

We turned the boat around in the slip and added double lines and then added two spring lines.

We then removed everything that we thought could be damaged by wind or rain.

Then we went to the shack and moved everything inside and secured what we could.

Most of these preparations had little affect on the outcome that was coming for us.

Now, all I can say is that we are thankful to still be here; Thankful to still have a place here, and thankful that it has made us stronger.
