Storms and Surfing...

We started our first month here at the Wilmington KOA with Tropical Storm Ana.  Her winds stayed under 50 mph when she made landfall and we sailed through with no problems.

Now, as we are approaching our last month here, we're watching Erika. She's a Tropical Storm right now, heading toward Florida. Where her path will go after that is anyone's guess, as well as whether she'll be happy with Tropical Storm status or will decide to upgrade to a hurricane.

We've been through hurricanes before...in a house. In an RV even a Category One hurricane is dangerous so we wait and watch. If Erika upgrades and comes our way we'll high tail it out of here until she passes. That's why we have wheels under our house!

One thing about coastal storms is that they bring good waves for surfing. You find all the good surfers on the beach just before a hurricane. Davis used to be one of them...probably still is...and he's passing his love for surfing on to Katie. She's been going to an Indo Jax Surf School Surf Camp since 2011 and is an awesome little wahine! 
I'm so proud of her!
