That is where I've seen most of the damage done. By other boats and
piers braking loose and blowing down on others Down wind.

Annapolis looks like 25 years ago, all the big boats are gone!
Slips are empty, heck whole marinas are empty. In 13 years I've never seen
this town take a storm this serious.

You will be powerless to do anything if it gets bad.


I know that, but it's looking more like just 70 here with maybe 5' surge.
It'll be building gradually from now on and I can adjust lines. I'm

Less of a problem if you've got floating docks, but even then
they could come loose.

Some people I knew saw a whole floating dock float down river with all the
boats still tied to it!
