Experience here shows that if you can, leave the marina and go up a nice
muddy river and anchor well. If your anchors drag you just end up
aground in a nice safe mud berth. If you have doubt as to the quality of
the marina pilings and construction leave -lest your boat be hit by
those breaking free. Just a thought -but please don't worry unduly. She
just represents several years of hard work so remember to insure her to
account for the 'improvments' you've made!!!!

Depending on what happens, I have a couple places to go: If the surge isn't
too bad,we (Peep. Scupper, several other singlehanders,
MC............! & I ) plan on camping in the boatyard office. I'll
move the Jeep to our office lot and park it under the 2ond. story. If it's
bad, I can go to a friend's house on high ground with the critters and leave
the Jeep at the library. If it's really bad I can load up the Jeep with the
critters and head west!

Haggie,
Get a LOT of rope and make a giant sling between all those pilings so your
boat is hammocked...that way it can'ty float away anywhere....On a more
realistic note, where are you and Scuppy going to go if it gets really wild?
You have an inland hidey-hole? You can come here, but it's a bit far to
check on the boat every day....

No **** Sherlock! I've never been in a slip during a hurricane before.
This is extremely disturbing.

The Chesapeake is renowned for good holding. Eh Timmy?

Actually, some of these pilings went through Agnes....I kinda like how they
flex. Big fatties... If the Swan, next to me, leaves I can run some long
lines across a couple slips:^)

The 'dangerous quarter' only applies to vessels at sea?

Wrong! The dangerous quarter is dangerous because it combines
the forward speed of the 'cane with the speed of the winds. If the
cane is progressing at 20 knots and the winds are blowing at
100 knots then the combined winds will be 120 knots. When the
'cane goes ashore so the NE quadrant strikes a boater in a bay
where the seas and tide can be pushed right in and have nowhere
to go then the storm surge can be very high indeed.

So, don't tell me the dangerous quarter only affects boaters at
sea, you putrid putz!
