Most boating enthusiasts tend to listen closely to weather forecasts, especially during hurricane season, officially June 1st through November 30th. Boaters should pay close attention and track all tropical depression storms as they make their way across the Atlantic just above the equator. When creating a plan, evaluate your location in advance. Buy and stockpile necessary supplies associated with your plan.
Boating stores tend to run out of dock lines, additional fenders, etc. as the storm approaches.
If you are going to take your craft to a special location to weather the storm, do a practice run once every year or so. You'll be glad you did this when you're trying to get there in adverse and deteriorating conditions. Plus, you will know in advance how long it will take you to get there. If you're headed inland, find out when drawbridges on your route get locked down. In some places, this happens once a hurricane warning is in effect.
