    Keeping my fingers crossed it takes a hard turn East but it’s been going slowly West. Will see what happens in the next 24 hours.

    Looks like I may have a direct hit. Please don't sink my ship. Going to call marina see what the plan is. High tide 9:15 Sunday night, full moon Saturday night. Storm surge could be very bad.

    I will double the line for extra security, put your vhf antenna down and if you can put a rear fender to prevent the swing platform hitting the pier.

    Thanks @oscar1 I did drop antenna after pic and there is a dock bumper behind the platform. Can’t see it in this shot but moved up in the slip about 2 feet. Storm seems to be moving east of Long Island thank goodness

    Looks like we got lucky, it moved East of the island. Here’s mine all tied up. I even double cleated a line from the side the wind is usually worst.

    Double up my lines, took down isinglass, left Bimini up hope it holds up. So far looks to be ok. The eye of the Strom has gone bye. No one has called me so I think it's ok.

    True. I’m all secure up here in Albany, more of a rain/high water issue due to opening dam plates on the Mohawk and what will come from the Champlain Canal/upper Hudson so added lines and pulled dinghy. High tide was 4:56 and the ramp is still level, should be down a bit normally by now. Can keep and eye on camera.

    Other than damaging the boat, what are the orange lines for?

    I’d say to hold it back if it got a forward surge if stern lines let loose. Seems a little excessive with that one there, if the surging is an issue I’d rather the cleats and snubbers take the stress, not the top.

    Don't waste your money buying a set of stout hurricane lines.  Just add 50 lengths of kite string and leftover sailboat rigging.  And if you don't know a knot, tie a lot.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but anchor/docking lines have give to them, a little spring action so that they don't rip out cleats or dislodge as easily. 


    Sailboat  lines or sheets  have little to zero give or else you're constantly readjusting sheets

    Correct. Halyards and sheets are made to be as little stretch as possible. Halyards used to be wire to keep them as non stretch as possible. And yes you want bounce in your dock lines.

    Chafing ... and I'm not talking about fat people exercising in hot weather.  In the slip, isn't chafing a more common failure mode than pulling out a cleat because there's no give in the line?

    I agree.   Sailboat lines/sheets/halyard are abrasion resistant.

    If you don't have extra anchor rode its/dock line better than nothing...its also cheap if you know a dock neighbor giving it away.
