Friday afternoon, another club member and I took a spin around the mooring field to see if anyone's boat looked "under-prepared."  Out of maybe 30?  Only two or three looked vulnerable. 

We took the inflatable back in and I launced a kayak to head out and see what might be a better solution.  I texted the owners, both answered to say please, go ahead and improve!  So I brailed a main cover that was probably not going to survive 35-40 prolonged and put a stout backup line on another boats' mooring pennant because the one they'd use looked very, very underspeced.  

All-in-all, it looked like the mooring field never really saw much wind.  It's a hurricane hole for sure. But it's better to be over prepared than under.  At least in my way of thinking.
