Pat: Absentee boat ownership is a disease not limited to your area. Before Isaac hit, the marina management reminded all tenants that their leases required removal of all canvas and sails plus encouragement for further storm preparations. A significant number did not comply. One today, 2 months post storm, still flies its roller furler rags. There is an area of our marina were sailboats that survived Hurricane Katrina are now moored. While they slowly sink. I'm not talking about derelicts, but boats readily sailable. Abandoned after Katrina and still there. And marina management does nothing to stop the sinking or put them back into commerce. But that is New Orleans for you.
Good luck and safe passage through the storm to you and all affected.

I'm on the West River, just south of Annapolis. I secured mine on Saturday, and like you, couldn't believe the number of people who do absolutely nothing to their boats. I saw over a dozen boats with sails still on the roller furler. I put extra lines on the tub next to me because I know that owner won't do anything. I've only seen him once in 3 years. He had two spring lines on the boat that had simply rotted away.

Frolic II, C&C 36, is in her slip in which is between the C&D Canal and the upper Chesapeake Bay. I spent most of Saturday doing what could be done to remove everything and tie her down securely. A surge of 8' or more will cause havoc with all of the boats in the marina. An interesting observation on Saturday was the number of boat owners that never felt the need for an extra effort to protect their boats. Thanks to everyone for their Good Luck wishes.
