SPECIAL NOTES FOR BOAT OWNERS:
Coast Guard Advisories:
- Small Craft - 29 mph winds
- Gale winds - 39-54 mph
- Tropical Storm winds - 55-73 mph
- Typhoon - 74 mph and higher
Boating Tips:
- If your boat is small, remove it from the water and
take it to a secure location away from flooding zones. Tie the boat
securely to the trailer and pack any loose items away
- Move your boat to a safe harbor well before the
storm approaches. Be sure you know ahead of time where this will be.
- If you are unable to move your boat, do what you
can to mitigate the damage:
- -- Remove all loose items from the boat and the
dock. Leave nothing unsecured.
- -- Double up and secure the mooring lines.
- -- Secure all hatches and portals and cover the
windscreen.
- -- Use extra fenders. Even used tires can be
used to protect the boat.
- -- Take down the mast if possible.
---- Remember, in many emergencies, your computer will be inaccessible, so a hard copy of any Paradise Organized chapters you find especially helpful is
a good thing to have on hand! ----
