OK, all you Internet sailor , expert wave / wind speed
predictors. For 10 points, tell me the wind speed in these
pics. Pics a1-4 are same time, different angles, one day,
pics b1-5 are same thing, different day.


Judging from the water, it looks like about 12 ~ 15 knots,
but I would think more from looking at the reefed sails.
Looks like you were well out in the middle, too.


.... For 5 bonus points
name the exact heeling angle.
