Jefferson Ny- Forecast as of 3:21 PM EDT on July 9, 2006 Tonight... SW
winds 10 to 15 kt...decreasing to 5 to 10 ...

And it's a forecast!!!! Know what a forecast is, Joe? It's not the
weather, now is it??? Oh, no!!!
Does anyone really think Joe has even the slightest knowledge of boats,
sailing or weather? With every post he digs himself in deeper.

Here, Joe. Let's try again. Read CAREFULLY and SLOWLY. Focus! This is
the ACTUAL weather for the 9th here, not a guess from the previous
day!:

Actual weather report, Joe. Actual gusts to 25 knots. Wind speed of 20.
You do know that predictions don't win out over actual events, right???
You forecast a long sea voyage, yet after seven years Redcloud is
nearly rusted to the dock! That's reality!

Ladies and gent's....allow me to introduce JOE, the dumbest fish ASA
has ever witnessed!


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The weather report is given in MPH, which should be converted as follows:
kts X 1.150779 = mph
25 MPH gusts = 21.7 knot gusts
20 MPH windspeed = 17.4 knot windspeed
30 knot gusts = 34.5 mph gusts
