Earthquake gel or sometimes-called museum gel is GREAT stuff.
We like candles in our boat and so we have some of those liquid wax
types that are on pretty, but very fragile, glass containers. Also, as
Jim mentioned here, we have vases with flowers.
This earthquake gel is amazing stuff... I was pretty skeptical.... but
a fine bead of transparent gel has held those objects through some
pretty wild rides. The flowers fly, the water flies out but the vase
remains. Yet one can remove the containers with ease and the stuff
leaves no mess.
Must be more of that PFM you folks are always talking about.
What's the worst for me is hearing crashing going on below but unable to
get down to see what's flying around. It's hard to exit the flybridge
while on Mr. Toads Wild Ride. A 5 point harness and grim determination
is undermined by the sounds of horrible breaking in the main salon. TV
sets are great for flying around. Silverware drawers tend to
self-empty. Refrigerators love to throw every unsealed container onto
the salon carpet.
I agree with Jim that the only way to prepare for this is to discover
what you forgot to secure the hard way. Somehow, we always seem to
forget something! It's probably because we don't experience these
conditions enough to remember what we did last time <G>.

Jan had just bought some Easter Lilies and put them on the dinette.
After all, that's the way all the boats are shown in the pictures. I
didn't know she had done so and hadn't thought to ask. When she went
below later she was most dismayed to find the lilies on the cabin sole
and dirt all over.
