Anchor out in a sheltered place. Or pick up a good mooring.

My little Tangerine never got damaged from storms. My storms are
tropical storms.
Your little 43knot winds are nothing. My storms have winds over 100knots.
My Tangerine
is on a mooring. You saw the pictures. No damage. Duh! Even a girl can
figure it out.

I like the idea of anchoring out. Lots of scope means good
shock abosorbtion. A mooring would be ok, as long as you
stayed aboard and checked for chafe. I already reported on
what happened when Ernesto passed through. Many dozens
of boat chafed through their moorings.
