6 On the Water THE TACKING TIMES NEWSLETTER Page 6 Hurricane Season, Are you ready? Members, the board approved this policy for hurricane season, READ and BE READY to take action once a hurricane enters the GULF and has any projected path to SW LA. NOTE that LCYC will tend your boat if you do not and will CHARGE YOU for the tending if needed. PROPOSED HURRICANE EVACUATION PLAN; ONCE a Hurricane enters the GULF and poses any threat to SW LA, all members must prepare their boats to either withstand the hurricane or be removed from the LCYC property. Owner must maintain his vessel in a state of readiness for movement in case of hurricane or other emergency evacuation. Owner will notify LCYC if propulsion machinery is inoperative and will remain so for more than 48 hours, and will advise of action being taken to restore machinery to operable condition. In an emergency, LCYC reserves the right, but not the responsibility, to take action necessary and prudent to safeguard Owner's vessel and adjacent vessel and property of LCYC. Owners agree to pay LCYC all charges for damages to LCYC property and services rendered on behalf of Owner and Owner's vessel in an emergency situation, to include charges for LCYC and materials and/or the costs of hiring a contractor to move or remove the vessel and to make any repairs required to make the vessel safe and free from defects which may endanger life, property or natural environment.
