Oh boy. I just returned from checking jackstands around my boat.

It's the guy next to you that you should worry about. We've got 50knots of SW breeze bringing in about 50 degree air, right now. We're on a good gravel base on the public landing but the upper few inches of ground thaws fast. Every stand I touched is loose right now. Not a problem with chains but you occasionally see a boat rocking back and forth between the loose stands.

And the ones with masts up get loose first. If stands are on soil, that's not good....
