But the harbor here is a bit of a "hole," although also a surge magnet. As many suggested, I took off the Delta and the headsail this morning and have two pendants on a 450# mushroom and much chain. The mooring guy may add a second 200#er for good luck. Sort of like leaving your anchor hung out to catch up on the way to the shore!
If you have one of those pieces of High & Dix like Todd, you should be able to hang on. Irene is now on the track of the infamous Carol. Let's hope weaker.
