Hurricane prep

I'm on a good mooring with dual pennants and chafe gear but a rolly harbor. Hopefully we'll see a more westerly track as we're somewhat exposed to easterlies.

I have a roller furling boom so no issue there but am thinking of wrapping my furling genny rather than taking it down. I've had good luck with that in the past but Irene may hit a bit heavier than other storms we've rode out. Any thoughts on that? Always seemed to have worked in the past as long as she's tightly furled then wrap tied as much as possible.
