Day 151 Atlantic Yacht Basin -Chesapeake, VA

We left Alligator River Marina and decided to go all the way to Atlantic Yacht Basin to be sure and get a space to hang out until the hurricane is over.  Apparently everyone else has the same idea because they told us they were expecting about 60 more boats in the next day or so.  It was a long day but we arrived about 6:30 PM and they put us in a covered shed with 3 boats in front of us and room for another 2 behind us.  It's like a 3 sided shed so we feel pretty safe here.  Unfortunately we can't get any TV or radio so it's just the two of us.  We have a few days before this storm arrives so we'll ride our bikes around the area and check it out but I think it's going to be pretty boring.  I could never keep our boat here permanently because I'm already claustrophobic!  If it appears to be unsafe to stay here, we'll get out and find a place to stay.

I just learned that the hurricane is headed for Norfolk and that's just 12 miles from here so we may have to rethink staying on the boat.  At least we have a couple of days to figure it out.  More later......
