I have to admit that I have a selfish interest in what's going on down there weather wise. My boat is on the hard in N Myrtle Beach, SC, and I was wondering whether I should ask the boatyard folks to take down the flybridge and sundeck enclosures that are still up ( like there's really going to be someone around there this weekend). In fact, I was going to ask the TF folks that live in that area if all the canvas should come down while she is in storage for the whole summer (hurricane season).
=====================
KJ,
Absolutely but it is too late now. The first items to blow away are the canvas covers, biminies etc
MY WRTITTEN HURRICANE plan included all canvas stowed including window coverings. Mast down and all items on the exterior stowed as well. All antennas were layed as well, anything to reduce windage.
NOT counting doubling and tripling of lines it took abt 2 hours to do everything.
Doing ANY less is an invitation to damage and with insurance we ALL PAY the price of people not adequately preparing for a storm.
One summer here on the Gulf of Mexico coast I prepared the boat 4 times---all to no avail thank God.
