Chafing in this case, I would not worry about 2 or 3 days. If it makes you feel better, use 1 inch water hose.

IF possible, the traditional 8 lines and then, double them up.

If you are going to remain on board, you may have to adjust your lines from the boat..... remember, storm surge and new lines stretch more than lines used in a previous storm.

Try not to over fill your cleats.
