safety

In the wake of Tropical Storm Fay and because we are in the prime eight weeks of hurricane season, I thought that a reminder on how to take care of your boat before a storm arrives might be in order.

Planning for the Storm
The four sources of danger to your boat are wind, rain, storm surge and flying debris, but with some preparation, you can reduce the damage to your boat. Always have a visual record of your boat in its undamaged condition, either by a video camera or still pictures.

After you have documented the condition of your boat, you can start preparing for the storm. What you do depends on where your boat is stored.
