Storms like this used to unnerve me when I was on an oil platform in the North Sea, and could feel it shaking, let alone in a boat. I once got caught in rough conditions in a 13ft speedboat off the coast of Greece, on half power with a blocked carburettor and no bilge pump. It was a lesson I will never forget. I pray for the safety of everyone caught up in this hurricane, and for the fortitude to recover soon from the damages.

I think it's safe to say that most of the larger yachts going out were probably making there way out of the path to calmer waters till the storm passed then would come back alot of these larger boats would be safer at sea than tied up and tossed around like bath toys inland where the storm surge would most likely push it on land then capsize it or severely damage the hull

[@rebel-yell9453]

When I was in the Coast Guard when big storms were imminent we always headed out to sea because it was safer riding out the storms at sea than it was keeping tied to the dock. At sea there are no docks, piers, pier pilings, bulkheads etc to get your ship smashed against, true sometimes hitting some waves head on it felt like we were hitting solid objects, but in fact they weren't.

[@TheGrindcorps]

Interesting. That makes sense. I’m from California. I always wondered what happens to larger boats with a ton of windage when winds are over 100 knots at the dock. Even smaller boats too though. Knowing hurricanes are fairly regular occurrence in these places how does anyone keep a boat, especially a sailboat? Do they have to take the mast off multiple times a year. I imagine that is a hell of a load on a mast with 145mph winds. Do people just pay a lot for really good boat insurance?

The storms push in huge amounts of grouper and snapper and the fishing for these species is as good as it gets for a couple of weeks after a really big hurricane.
