What matters now
If your boat lies somewhere it can get serious, you act on the plan you made earlier, not on this page. If you have no plan, today is the day to make one.
Doubled lines, chafe protection, fenders, canvas off: half an hour of work that often decides everything. Once it starts there is no time left for it.
Photograph the boat, the lines and the surroundings before anything happens. After a storm that is the only evidence of how it looked before.
Read what your own contract says about storms and about the hurricane season. Many contracts carry their own rules for it.
When it comes to it, the instruction of the local authority and the marina applies, not what a website says.
