You'd have to be an idiot to leave your boat at a dock with a hurricane
heading right for you with about a week's notice.

Those people are supposed to do what? Take the boat to sea and head
for Panama?

I don't feel the least
bit sorry for boats that burn up. I'm sure most of the people who left
boats there did so saying something like, "Oh well, that's what I pay
insurance for." Good luck them trying to recoup full value from insurance
companies.

What excuse will the insurer use, and what makes you think they can
get away with it? The biggest risk is probably bankrupcy on the part
of the insurance company.
