If you haven't heard about Earl by now, your TV or radio are broken or you are a hermit. Earl is a category 4 hurricane moseying along the eastern seaboard headed for North Carolina. As of this posting, Soteria is out of the water on land, and battened down as best as can be done. We are staying with friends inland a few miles as Earl isn't projected to be a direct hit, but a glancing blow, unless you live on the Outer Banks. There they have mandatory evacuations for the isolated islands and for the tourists. Locals have been dealing with this for years, and the authorities haven't issued evacuations for them; yet. Being our first time in a hurricane, we over prepared: taking all exterior stuff off the boat and having her pulled out. An extra expense, but one the insurance company will partially reimburse. (Thank God!)
We'll have photos later this weekend and will keep you updated as Earl comes around tonight.
Till then, hold on to your hats!
