Thom, winds reported at La Guardia were 11.5 at 5:51 and 15 at 6:51 pm.

The throw line has a couple of wraps around it and a twist, but it's
always possible for a passenger to panic and tangle a line. A bag for
the line might be safer.

Ozzy, you're right about the winch handles. As the sun set and I opened
the 110% we were cooking well enough and we had enough activity on deck
to make the handles a hazard. I haven't set up a place for the floating
handle to be stowed yet.

The genoa sheet and furling line are coiled around the winch. This is
common practice and they are a moment away from being ready to deploy
the headsail.
