Steve, I wish I were so lucky as you. As you know Stamford is directly north of OB & CSH. We are open a southerly. The breakwater is about 1.5 miles from my slip. I've been wondering for years where to go to keep Witchcraft safe when a big storm arrives. There are few good hiding places and the few that exist are all full.
I have little choice but to ask the dock master if a less exposed slip is available, use lots of dock lines, and pray. Too late to bother checking the insurance. -- Stephen Petri S/V Witchcraft, Ranger 33 No. 161 http://www.teamwitchcraft.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Weinstein Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 10:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] Amended Post = = = Re: Earl Too Close The difference is, Ed, that with a sailboat at a mooring - at least up here in the NY area - there aren't any hurricane holes I have to move the boat to - wait a minute, I'm ___in____ a hurricane hole! The only exposure deep down into Oyster Bay where you anchored and I'm moored, the only 'open' path is out of the N or NNE. Even when Bob trashed the east coast from NY up to Newport, we sustained minimal damage on our respective moorings and actually only two boats broke their mooring lines (from their mooring ball) and sailed across the harbor. <SNIP> _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
