Spectra has its own problems - like being able to cut through other things,
for one.

I've yet to find a Spectra "tube" - I've seen them made out of nylon, but
that's not really very useful. Chafe gear made out of a Kevlar or other
"super fiber" that was available in a tube format would be useful - however,
at this point, they're not typically available commercially.

Fire hose is easily available, works, and solves the problem. No it won't
survive for a month in these applications. It doesn't have to - it only has
to survive the duration of the storm, after which you can discard it and cut
another piece for the next one.

Firehose is find. I've used firehose for anchor and dockline chafe
protection for years...when the stuff shows wear, I toss it and use fresh.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
