It’s getting real here in Florida… real cold that is! 🥶🥶🥶

It’s not often you can say this, but the whole Northern half of Florida to Tampa and Orlando will be colder than Juneau, Alaska Tues and Wed AM.
That’s not only due to being , but the fact the Juneau is right on the Pacific and onshore flow can keep it milder.

Please pray for all people along the East Coast who were impacted by Hurricane Matthew. As I am no longer the owner of The Seattle Sailor I do not specifically know how much damage the cottage sustained but I do know there was flooding between the highways in OBX. I know that neighbors on either side of me sustained considerable water damage.

I closed on The Seattle Sailor this morning. An era has ended. It has been in the Johnson/Annas family for the past 37 years. Most of the time it was a private second home. However I managed the property rental from 2009-2015, even during the time Pat had cancer starting in May 2012. Last fall we placed it in property management with Seaside Vacations. After losing Pat in early March 2016 I knew it was time to sell. It is bittersweet but I know I have made the right decision. I need to reduce the stress in my life and this is a step in the right direction. I just learned this afternoon that the owners of Mama Kwan's Resturant were the buyers. That is next to Puzza Hut and their office is across the street from my next door neighbor. Small world.

I will be closing down the FB page soon so if you have any memories of The Seattle Sailor please share them now!

One of the top 10 beach days of the summer. Took a little break from packing the last of my personal items from the cottage. Went to one of my favorite spots on the deck at Capt'n Andy's at the Nag's Head Fishing pier.

Bittersweet day but I am ready for new adventures and have already booked my upcoming OBX vacation at The Salty Shrimp for Ms. Sophie and I!! The OBX is in my blood and always will be!

Received my 2nd contract on the cottage within the first 72 hours on MLS. The first one fell through....hope this one sticks.
