And that was a cat 1. With a 5 we would expect 11-12 foot above the
docks.

Move to a marina with floating piers.


NO.

9 reasons why

1 I would have to walk down most likely a long pier to get to deep
enough water for my boat. Now I park my car and truck 25 feet from the
boat

2 I would have to pay for electricity. Here it is included with my
slip

3 I would have to leave the best view on the lake. Ask Jim Cate he
knows I have an awesome view of the lake and sunsets.

4 I would not have room on the dock for my swimming pool, picnic
tables, lawn furnature, two large dock boxes, dog cage, ect.....


Uh ...Oh! Trailer trash is an American term, so I don't really know what
it means.


5 I have lived in a marina with floating docks and I worried about the
whole marina floating above the pilons and destroying everyones boats.

6 I have a nice yard, palm trees, aloe plants, cactus, ect.

As I said, I don't know what "trailer trash" really means.




7 here I have a 10X20 tent over my picnic table just in front of the
boat.

I'm really confused. Why does the term "trailer trash" keep coming to mind?



8 it only floods one or twice a year so its not that big of a deal.

I'm beginning to understand .....



9 here Im right next to a cut between 2 lakes and I can castnet enough
Shrimp for dinner in about 30 min anyday.

Some East European assylum seekers(economic refugees!) catch most of their
food in a local lake. They aren't called trailer trash, ... they are called
gypsies.


Besides a good flood cleans the place up a bit, all the ants get
washed out and the dumb ass powerboaters leave some much gear adrift
you find some nice stuff floating by.

At last! I think I understand.

Our pilings are about 21 ft above low water. Our HW can be 16 feet
above
LWS, so you have more scope built in.


So if there was a storm surge that cause the water to rise 9 feet above
normal
high tide, what would happen? Thank you.

Last year we had a F9 which didn't cause a problem in the marinas.

AFAIK, the biggest storm that has hit us was in 1989. IIRC, only one marina
had a pontoon float free of it's pilings.

Did Loco write that. I seem to have missed that post.

Scotty


It's not at all unusual for you to miss something.


True, so, could you show me where Loco wrote that?

Scotty

I heard on the news that storm surge could be as high as 15 or 18
feet. Y0W!

Yes .........but we know what jelious means.

Because your so jelious you try to de-grade a good thing that you can
not obtain? Serious. The tent is nice. like the one that windshield
repair men use. Its great with the steady breeze.

Id rather hang with a group of skilled Gypsies than a gaggle of
****** snobs. Pip pip. Living off the sea or land is a skill and
privelege we value here in Texas.

It's cool if they enjoy what they are eating. I'd rather catch it
fresh coming out of the lakes than pay some shrimper 6 USD a pound for
it. But I understand how such actions are frowned upon by snobbish
irish fox hunting british ******s that need 200 foxhounds, 50 horses,
horns, and a tea party to kill anything. At least the Gypsies eat and
use what they kill.

Keep trying if it dont hurt your head to much Lanod.

Last hurricane that came thru I saved several whole dock boxes that
the powerboaters here failed to secure. I tied them of and kept them
from floating out to sea. Not one thank you, just a dirty looks from a
snob asshole that would of rather filed an inflated insurance claim.
Now I just shoot holes in them before they bump into my hull

Wel done! I wish that we had people like you here.

That's America for you! Over here, you would have been compensated for your
efforts. Most people on my pontoon would have offered you the use of a
Rubenesque female for at least 45 minutes.

You don't? Most people who are around marinas when there are problems look
out for each others boats...

I don't think Joe would have any use for one for more than about 4
minutes, much less 45.

As for Rubenesque, think positive. That's a lot better than Daliesque.

Im talking about the millionaire cigar boat dickheads.

One guy in the next slip over had a cabin cruiser and I tended his
lines while he was out of town. He insisted on giving me a 100 bucks.
I did not want to take it but he said he would throw it in the water
if I did not. Was a nice dinner for Terry and I.

Joe, just so you know... the sentence fragment is also grammatically
incorrect. It should read "Terry and me" not "Terry and I."
