The Chesapeake Bay has not been hit by a hurricane for a really really long time. Which is why we picked it for our spot to wait hurricane season out. Well, let me tell you this…a hurricane hit it. Hurricane Hanna came in and slingshoted right up to the east coast. It was a little scary. We had to get everything ready. The lines on the boat looked like a spider web there were sooooooo many. The hurricane was expected to hit the Carolinas yesterday evening. It did and it came up here today as a tropical storm. It wasn’t much, just a lot of hard rain. The water went up by about a foot, and all we had to do was hunker down inside. But at least we know that we will be prepared if this happens again!
