You're best off having the boat hauled out an put on blocks..
I'm already noticing some erratic tides down here.
We usually see a 2' tide change in Delray.. It was nearly 4' yesterday...

Some good boat-related hurricane reading:
Hurricane preparation
Although if your boat is in dry storage and you don't have a way to move it, about the only thing you can do is call your insurance agent. A relatively flimsy drystorage building + 160 mph winds = lots of crushed fiberglass.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

Mike,
Where was that pic taken?
Winds are down to "only" 120 right now. Still too soon to tell where it is going.
Oh well, if it gets creamed, then thats what insurance is for, and I have good insurance - right Sy??
Sy? SY??

Bill,
The pic was from somewhere in Florida, though I don't know if it was Opal or Andrew. I'd be real skeptical about those "rating" numbers... seems to me that it sounds good, but what does it really mean (sort of like a power rating on an amplifier )
Maybe your girl Isabel will help you buy a new 'Gun!
