I have Alberg 30 #481 "Rainbow" am located right in the crosshairs of
Florence on the Neuse river near Oriental NC. I am in a hurricane hole
marina with super wind and surge protection. I stripped genoa off but left
main on with sailcover but I secured it all around the boom with line. I
also removed my dodger and have no bimini. I am in a fixed slip and doubled
up my lines and tied them to pilings with slack. I will go to the boat
during lulls in storm to check them. No jackstands available for a haulout
so did best I could, will wait and see.
