I trailer mine now. Going down to the dock in the middle of the night to do storm checks got old. Docks are tricky in storms. Too many variables for the boat to be damaged. I used to put mine out at mooring, with extra scope if I couldn’t pull it.
I jumped early. I left the marina at 6:00 this morning to make the 9:00AM lock opening. She is blocked and strapped now. I will give the insurance company a call in the morning as to my vessel’s status. They will intern reimburse me, half of the cost of joining the hurricane club, which is $2000/year.
