I would if my boat wasn't on the hard (Victorian).
I hope the sailors up north have their insurance policies up to date. This cyclone will kick the premiums up no doubt.
I love how for my local area Seabreeze has brown arrows for Saturday. If your going sailing ensure you are wearing your brown pants!

More likely it will negate any boat in Queensland from getting insurance at all. From what I have heard they have put a blanket on insuring any boats located in the 4670 post code area (Bundaberg) unless they are kept at the only marina left in the Burnett River, who are taking full advantage of the situation.

Here I am quoting my own thread. Surprised there was no comment about the brown pants!
Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!". The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.
Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!". The battle was on, and once again the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties occurred.
Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?". The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid". The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man.
As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to their Captain for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!!
