Day 152 - Atlantic Yacht Basin

Watching all the boats coming in today has been amazing - all sizes and types.  We heard today that the Navy has removed all the big ships out of Norfolk which is 12 miles north of us.  We've been able to attach a little cable we bought at Wal-Mart and have been able to get a number of channels so we can keep up with the hurricane tracking information.  We haven't decided whether or not we're staying with the boat and will make that decision tomorrow but after talking with a number of people here at the marina, they have been through this before and think we'll be safe if we stay on board.  I have to say I'm a little scared because I've never been through anything like this before.  I need to get to the store and stock up on wine!!

This is a very historic area and if possible, I'd like to get out and explore.  We're in the town of Chesapeake but also it's the area referred to as Great Bridge.  There was a major Revolutionary War battle here and it actually was such a significant battle that it was the end of the war.  Hopefully, we'll be able to do some sightseeing after this is all over.
