Hurricane Preparedness
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:52 pm
Some years ago several boats were lost at the Houston Yacht Club and (after the fact) the Club created a "Hurricane Preparedness Plan".
Most of the information in the plan is club specific, but if you have a boat in hurricane country you should have a plan for monitoring the approaching storm and for what you should do to prepare so your vessel survives as possible.
The attached PDF file is a copy of Chapter IX of their plan for Cruising Boats that contains some ideas that might help.
Luckily, Puget Sound is in hurricane country.
