My FL boat is at the dealer for maintenance. The work is done and I have tickets to fly down there Monday to pick it up.

I considered going earlier this week to move the boat to it's home which is a lift that, at best, can get it about 5' above high tide. I did not do this so it remains on a rack about 10' above the water at the dealer.

A storm surge at my lift could remove my boat.

At the dealer water isn't the threat. Wind is.

Up high on the dealer rack my boat could be treated to all manner of insults.

Flying objects, canvas shredding and the toppling of the whole dealer rack come to mind.

If I go Monday, sea conditions will likely prevent me from fetching my boat. My next opportunity is Tuesday a week later. I have bought those tickets.

Whenever I arrive in FL it is my hope that there will be "Irma missed us" celebrations everywhere.
