The starboard side will be fine. The port side however… it’s 3” from the neighboring Rinker!!

If I was on that pier, I'd haul out for a hurricane.  Those poles look too flimsy and too short. 

But if I was staying, I'd probably lash the two boats together with some BIG fenders between them.  Otherwise, they'll start banging around when the rough stuff hits.

You guys in the south are hard-on equipment....



lol.

If this is somebody's idea of prepping for a storm, it's a great teachable moment for inexperienced boaters.  

The fenders remind me of how some people tie knots.  "If you don't know the knot, tie a lot."  Those tiny fenders won't do much.  Maybe get some storm lines bigger than 3/8"?  I love how the bow line is looped around the 3" steel piling, as if wave action won't saw that line in half.  And, uhhhhh, disconnect her from shore power! 

At least they took down the canvas.

Not even gonna comment on the neightbor boat completely uncovered and vinyl rotting away....

Thanks Florida boaters for making everyone's rates go up.

Bimini canvas still up too.

Probably to soon for any kind of humor but,……If these guys would have only put that much effort into securing their boats none of this would have happened. As much as I dislike my short boating season in Michigan, I am SO incredibly thankful that I don’t have to experience what my fellow boaters in the South do. At a glance it doesn’t look like any Rinkers are in the picture though.

There are still boats scattered around southern Florida from Irma with notice stickers all over them.      What's a few more?

J3ff

Man, I sure hope I can find a liveaboard out of one of those...

Find yourself a free partially sunken boat. Part out the inboards and hange four 300s off the back. Put a nice efficient genny where the motors used to sit.
