Went out to the boat yesterday and used all the dock lines I own to add extra spring lines on both sides (including across the empty slip next to me) and took the sails off and stowed them below. Probably was overkill as we now are not expecting to see anything over 45 kts or as the center of the storm is well west. However, the seaport marina in Lynn is exposed to the south which is the primary wind direction here so I was concerned about extra windage. Biggest risk is that the marina will fall apart unfortunately (it isn't in good shape) or something else will come loose and hit the boat. Just have to hope for the best. Here at home in Malden, it is windy and occasional heavy rain but nothing too extreme so far.
