i'll be out of town and wont be able to pull the boat from the slip - any suggestions on what can be done to prepare her? I figured doubling the lines is about it.

Yes double the lines. Add a second spring line crossing the first. Make sure all lines wont rub (cover with tape, tubing.. whatever) lower antennae, biminis, and anything loose stow it. Add a fender or two if you need. Make sure the batteris are charged for hte bildge pump. |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Got a feeling that tonight, all of the Friday evening traffic jams will be on the Cape side of the bridges, for once. 
The exodus started already---at least 20 vehicles passed me on 25/195 this morning, loaded down to the gills. |

I worry and prepare more for the Nor'Easters in the winter than I do for a hurricane. It doesn't phase me much. We have everything we need.

Charged the batteries, springer line from center cleat to back and a double line on the front. Taped the covers on the electronics.
That is all. Carry on! |
No boat, back in the suds.

Take the electronics off.
Or they may not be there Monday.
