My neighbor decides she wants to take the boat out of the canal and place it on the trailer due to t.s. fay/ahh we live in key largo.So we wait to the last minute ,she is almost out of the cut and into the bay when she turns around and waves to me , I waved back, she gives me the 1 finger salute and then my cell phone rings. She has lost all steering and its blowing pretty hard forget the 3-4 waves in the bay.The t-top now acts like a parachute and she is headed towards the rocks.Long story short we got back to dock the boat @ her house. This boat was used 2 days prior with no problems was so ever.Dont wait till the last minute to prepare for this storm,If it can go wrong it will, we were lucky.With all the rain we are getting I have a spare battery and spare/ready rig to toss into the boat bilge pump.Be prepared....
