Kris, I sure understand now and appreciate your thoughts. I would not have thought about clogged thru-hulls so I'm grateful for the heads-up. Had you not spoken, I'd have focused on home-type things and the readiness of the boat to promptly escape the slip in an emergency. My other thought was consolidating papers in a "go bag" and/or placing copies in a safe place ashore. Too wet and icy to check today, but they are allowing escorted visits. They insist that we wear lifejackets to go out there. George is against wearing his!
