It's unreal what water can do. Amazing. One of the main sources of life but also very very deadly

Back in the 1970’s in south FL. We had a 30’ sail boat. When ever a storm was heading are way, we would tie off to the dock, plus to something that was on the land close by, a tree, a cleat anchor to the concrete seawall, an like someone already said, drop a anchor or two. As you can see in the video, you can’t have too many tie offs.

I pay 4x more for insurance for my old, inexpensive 43' boat as I did for my much more expensive house. The insurance company sets the price and I pay. They made an educated bet based on probability and sometimes they lose... such is their business. The insurance company has so many stipulations that they seldom actually lose. If my boat is damaged in a named storm of any kind my policy coverage is nearly nothing unless it is on land, has proof of being properly prepared and is tied to the ground with hurricane tie-downs. And they want to know the location it will be secured at when they write the policy. I use my boat and travel around so that is always a guess. Don't feel sorry for the insurance companies, feel sorry for the people who lost their dream or the people who had such a boat wash up in their yard and then have to wait for the insurance company to do their job and have it removed. The FL insurance issue is all politics.
