We are considering a different hurricane plan. We have moved our boat to Gulfport Mississippi and the marina policy is to ask you to leave in the event of a hurricane that will affect us. We still keep a slip several miles up the Tchefuncte River north of Lake Ponchatrain, but this will require a twelve hour run to get there, and we also prefer to let that slip go.
I'm told that several boats survived Katrina by anchoring in Gulfport Lake. This is a body of water several miles inland from Biloxi. I'm considering this as our plan but would like to get some input on how much rode, anchor types and any other preparations that should be considered. The plan would probably be to leave the boat unattended during a storm which I am not crazy about. Thoughts??
