[Rhodes22-list] Preparing for Isaias

[Stephen Staum]

I usually put a couple of bungees on the Genoa to make sure it doesn’t open
& get destroyed. My Bimini rests on the stern rail so bungee that as well.
Be sure the cabin slider is secured shut. I lost the Carol Lee in a
hurricane 6 or 7 years ago. The slider opened & the cabin took on water
leading to capsize, turtle & demasting.  I leave the rudder up with extra
bungees on the tiller.
