Pawley's Plantation - a change is coming

Today we woke up to warnings about an impending weather change.  Hurricane Matthew is on it's way and has the locals quite concerned.  We can appreciate that, especially after experiencing one last year.  By Friday the hurricane is predicted to make landfall.  Wouldn't you know it, this is the day that we're playing our raincheck from last year.  I guess we'll see what happens.

Today we were told to expect an increase of wind and the weather station even predicted hourly how fast to expect it.  Sure enough by noon we were feeling a noticeable change in the weather.  You know how you can just tell when a storm is coming... it's on it's way for sure. The wind has picked up and some rain is in the forecast.  There are strong riptides right now and many warnings not to enter the water.

Our first alligator swimming by

Our golf was fun.  We have played this course a few times before so we know what to expect.

You play over the marsh and have a lovely view of the birds that are looking for fish.  It's really quite nice.

The ocean has changed it's direction.  Earlier in the week the waves were flowing to our left, but now they are flowing to the right.   I went out to see the sunset which goes down behind our condo.

Can you find Lawrence in the bright orange t shirt!!
