Honest answer, safer than a house.

You been in a boat through a hurricane and a house? No way a boat is safer than a house. Not even remotely close.

I'd say a lot of that depends on his mooring lines. He better keep adjusting them as the storm surge rolls in or that fricking boat is gonna end up on its side.

And his skills with the throttle.

But I defer to you.

Awww....he'll be alright....they only picked up an 83ft wave with this one...and the storm's weakening.

LOL....hope he has life insurance...but then again...no need for a funeral because they'll probably never find his body.

Tell that to a 14ft storm surge and islands that may not be there tomorrow

At least the boat can float.

I took that as he was moored to a dock... no throttle, just mooring lines. I wouldn't want to be in a boat tied to a dock with an expected storm surge of 10+ feet... unless he's got floating docks but I still doubt they're good for that much water.

True...even a capsized boat can float for a while upside down. I guess it's all relative to how much time you have left.

Me too, I'm just hoping he moves and puts an island between him and the storm and ties off. To everything
