Waht 15kts...wow!?


today's weather calls for gusts to 40 knots. Where do you get 15?


Typical Booby "weather inflation" - prediction is:
W WINDS 10 TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT. SEAS 2 TO 3 FT.

Winds now are steady at 17 MPH at LaGuardia. It'll be more at on the
LIS.


Current weather near Booby's slip is 13 kts, gusting to 17.
