He’s going to have a hard time explaining that one to the insurance company.

Never underestimate the idiocy of a boater. Poor Dauphin Island. In 1979, Hurricane Frederic destroyed the old Dauphin Island Bridge. A ferry was used for many months while the new bridge was being built. The ferry continues today but runs across the mouth of Mobile Bay between Dauphin Island and Fort Morgan. Story had to be a bit off with the statement about the boat "sailing back into the open waters of the Gulf". The boat had to be in Bayou Aloe on the north side of Dauphin Island. The power lines run west of the Dauphin Island Bridge across Pas au Herons, a body of water that connects Mississippi Sound with Mobile Bay then across Bayou Aloe. To sail into the Gulf, the boat would have to sail a very narrow channel, pass through the Dauphin Island Bridge then turn south and sail out the mouth of Mobile Bay or sail 13 miles around the western tip of Dauphin Island.

That hurricane had to be the most forecast hurricane ever – it basically went ruler straight right at us for days. For the hurricane last year I grabbed a mooring in Annapolis . Much easier than adjusting lines all night and the boat stays into the wind. The harbormaster said no one was supposed to use the moorings, but then he left……………..

Where I live in Southeast Florida , some people don’t even board up their homes unless it looks like the eye is coming right at them. I saw plenty of boats that survived category one conditions in 2004-5 without any preparation at all. However, Isaac was a very wet storm when the outer bands passed through here the other day. I’m holding my breath, like everyone else, hoping that the levees hold in the New Orleans area. And, if the water level gets too high, docks break up and boats end up all over land. Twenty inches of rain would do a lot more damage than 75 mph winds. The difference between a category one and, say, a three, is impressive. You can walk around outside in a one for a quick look if you’re curious and careful. Not so with a three. Sections of roofs are flying through the air. Tree limbs are lethal weapons. A five, forget about it. South Miami-Dade looked like Beirut during the civil war after Andrew. Concrete walls were knocked down. Two-by-fours were driven through palm trees. I have a friend whose family survived by huddling in a bathtub with a mattress over them as their concrete block home broke up.

At least I can sleep well knowing I tried. I also have the pictures of my efforts if the insurance company needed proof. Our slip lease requires removal of canvas and extra docklines in the approach of a tropical storm. An e-mail reminder of the lease provisions circulated at the end of last week. It will be interesting to see what results.

It is an attitude that needs to be discouraged.
