Changed our minds .... it's all a crap shoot where to hole up. We're going to stay in Chesapeake City til' this blows through.

So with all this time on our hands I finally got our new home made freezer operational but the cupboard is bare. Some friends from PA are driving down for lunch tomorrow and will take us grocery shopping (no shopping nearby) so we can fill our new freezer. The freezer compartment in the fridge was too small so we'll modify that and use that one just as a refrigerator.

We'll wait another couple of days and if it looks like Matthew really will be a problem we'll start stripping the boat ... remove canvas, remove outboard from the dinghy and hide it ashore somewhere, put the dinghy in the water and sink it, remove bicycles, antennas and anything else that can get torn off. We have a few options on how to place the boat using multiple lines and the anchor to hold us off the dock but we'll decide on that when we know more about wind speed/direction. We'll have lots of time if Matthew keeps to it's predicted track we will not get hit til' Sunday or Monday.

There is an old Chinese curse .... May you lead an exciting life
This still beats all hell out of going to the office every day
