Great Post CD, thanks for the reminder.
A added suggestion.............................
If keeping the boat at the dock is your only choice...consider when adding dock
lines, use 3-4 different diameter dock
lines. The smallest line should be the shortest, (not tight just shorter than the rest) and it will stretch the most and absorb a lot of the shock, then the next size a bit longer, and so on. This worked well for us during Isabel in 2003. I cant take credit for the idea, my boat neighbor at the time suggested it, a 70 year old salt
