This is a picture of our boat at low tide on Friday after Isabelle when
through on Thursday.

The

water was still up about knee level over the dock. At the height of the
storm the water was up to the top of the pilings. (The guy who was in
the slip next to us hauled his boat for the storm).

In our slip (fixed docks-50 foot slip), we have pilings on each side of
the slip, but at the end of the slip there are only cleats on the dock.
So in preparation for the storm, we had to run lines across the dock
to the other side where there were pilings.

Sounds and looks good, except I suggest you move the lines on the
pilings up to the top and "pin" them with nails bent down over them to
keep them from slipping up (too easily). That forward breast line looks
like it would have been pulling down pretty hard at high tide.

Someone on our dock took a pic at high tide: No docks, pilings or
visible lines; just two rows of boats lined up on the water; only a few
tree tops visible on the breakwaters between them and the Bay looking
towards Baltimore. Very strange picture, as I recall.
