Currently gusting...

... over 28 kts at Thomas Pt on the Chesapeake -- and the front hasn't gotten here yet. Gusts predicted to be over 50 kts late this PM when the cold front passes through. I'm curious to know how widespread -- or not -- the practice of using tie-downs for boats on the hard may be. Does your marina use tie-downs? If so, what has been your experience with this method of securing boats?
