I know. Boats don’t fare well and there’s usually not enough time to move small vessels out of the way. Long lines are only so useful when the vessel is swamped.
GatorGuy is in the Navy and they have to move all their ships off piers and out to sea but you can certainly ride out a hurricane in one, although you probably don’t want to!
Many of us did head out when Rita and Katrina were heading our way. Ike covered most of the gulf so there was no where to go without heading into it.
Almost every year I have to have my boat pulled out and dry docked at the marina. Even with a strong tropical depression because it’s on a lift and we are on the open Atlantic. The waves come up under it and will float it off and bang it against the seawall. Expensive little suckers to maintain when you live in down here.
