Now *that* is a real concern. It's worse that the boat is a 3 hour drive
away. The staff at our marina is very good, which helps.

To some extent, yes. In this case, anybody who cared enough could have
driven down on Friday night or early Saturday morning and had plenty of
time to secure their boat.

In our case, I hate having the boat that far away. But I am lucky in
that I have a lot of leeway in taking off to go take care of it... as
long as work isn't falling too far behind...



.... When
I still had the horses a thunderstorm popped up with tornado warnings and
heavy lightning warnings...I ran home to put the horses in, since two of
them were shod (and a horse down the street had been killed the year before
by being struck...) They thought I was nuts....oh well...

Of course they thought you were nuts. Horse people (and we have several
in the family) are nuttier than sailors... and that's saying a LOT! It
must be an even higher priority to take proper care of a horse.
