I was at the slip and looking at the posts sticking up above water level 10 feet and thinking about hurricane storm surge. That amount of water is unfathomable. I wondered if our marina would survive such a storm.
All the talk about doubling up lines to prep to shelter in place wont make any difference if that big surge happened. You can't just add lines, you have to allow the boat to float up with the surge. I imagine some boats will pull out the pilings, or break something.
