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

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.

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!
