Dennis:
Greetings from the South shore of of Lake Pontchartrain. On Sunday, I vacated
my 30' slip on the west side of the harbor for a 50' or more slip on the east
side. Multiple spider lines all around. There are no boats close to me to break
loose and be blown down on the boat. When I did my prep, it totally amazed me
at the number of boats that were not being attended to. Makes me wonder why
people spent the amount of money and effort to re-populate the harbor with
boats after Katrina. I guess it is obvious when so many boats are never sailed.
Good luck,
Ed

Joe,
Ditto. I swap ends also. Touche's normal dock lines use the eyes on the boat's
cleats. Touche's storm lines, however, are rigged with the eyes on the pilings
and are cleated on the boat with figure eights to allow for adjusting.
Crazy as it seems, there are people that cruise the bayou in dinghies adjusting
people's dock lines during the storm. Have to use dinghies because the marinas
will be flooded.
Boats that are moored on bulkheads side to put lines across the bayou to trees.
At the latest moment, one of the dinghy cruisers will tighten the lines to
pull the boat away from the bulkhead. This, of course, makes the bayou
impassable. But by that time, every boat should be tucked away.

During Isabel some idiots left lines tied to cleats bolted to the dock planks.
Of course the surge pulled the planks right off the dock L
I – having learned from Hurricane David the hard way – didn’t
use my normal dock lines with spliced loops. For Isabel I was able to let the
lines in and out without climbing off the boat and risking tripping or breaking
an ankle on the pulled up planks mentioned earlier.
Best of Luck – I’ll throw some rum in the bay to placate King
Neptune.
