Hurricane and halloween

So fall brings another hurricane. Should I pull the boat or keep it in? That's always the question.  These storms are bitter sweet in my mind in that I got my current boat in 2003 right before Isabella which was supposedly a 100 year storm.  The boat survived that, so everything since has been shrugged off.  It's still a concern but we'll see.  Here's what I did, just doubled up the bow and stern lines, added 2 more spring lines one additional to keep it off the pier and one to keep it from pushing out into the creek.  The picture below is the second thing I did which was adding chafe protection (split vinyl tubing zipped tied in place). Last picture is the pumpkin I carved.  I hadn't done it since I was a kid but it was fun and came out much better than I thought it would.
