🌀🌴 Gulf Shores dodged a bullet. The wind was blowing pretty good last night, and the swaying trees kept me on edge.

🏡 No damage to the house. Just a messy yard. 🍃

🚗⛵ Tomorrow, it's back to Naples and Salty Abandon. 🌊🐈🐈

🌀😂 Hurricane “Isaac Hayes” is heading our way!

That's Joey Ward's nickname for Hurricane Isaias because it's so hard to pronounce! 🤣

🌊 Met this Gulf Shores local character at The Hangout for his daily update. Some encouraging forecast changes, but staying vigilant! ❤️

🌊🌀 From Marathon to the Everglades, Naples, and now Gulf Shores—all in one week! ⛵

Salty Abandon is safe in Naples. Tuxey, Mango, and I are home preparing for the hurricane. 🐈🐈❤️

⚡ My Honda 8,000 generator hasn't run in SIX YEARS! Will it start? Watch until the end! 👀

Another stop closer to the Keys! ⛵🌴🌅

Salty Abandon is tucked in at Boynton Harbor Marina tonight. Live music, dinner at Two Georges, and another stop along the ICW as I keep making my way south toward the Florida Keys. 🎶🐟

Getting the Takacat ready for the Keys! ⛵

Got it inflated, the engine on, and the dinghy safely up on the davits in North Palm Beach just before the rain started. Perfect timing!

Almost everything is back aboard, and the kitty crew has already resumed supervising duties. 😂🐾
