Gusts don't count. The Beaufort scale measures sustained wind.

Gusts don't count what? Gusts are even more challenging on the LI Sound and
require (obviously) even more skill to handle. Thanks for your support!
Meanwhile, Donal had to back down on what "challenging" meant!
Beautiful!

RB

I can't wait for Binary's post saying you never showed up this
weekend.

Was it a challenging sail?

I don't read most of your posts ;-

A little pompous - but better than an outright sneer!

Hey, I'm feeling mellow.
Shoulders feeling great, went for a sail yesterday, weathers sunny and
cool,
AND I'm off down the snow in another week. (stay off the blacks and no
poles!)

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Right On , Jeff!

I chose to believe that people in this group are truthful unless they have
demonstrated
otherwise. I know that there's a possibility that one or more seemingly
honorable posters
may be deceiving us, but that's OK, its all virtual. There are, however,
a small number
of posters, RB, Neal, and Jax, that for some reason take great pleasure
blatantly lying
for the purpose of trolling. Frankly, everything they say is highly
suspect. Indeed,
they challenge us with every post: "guess whether I'm telling the truth
this time!" is
between the lines of everything RB says. They are also the first to
accuse everyone else
of lying, and the first to play "holier than thou."

If people play nice, its fun to believe them; when they brag about
cheating, one assumes
they always cheat.

By the Beaufort Scale everyone else uses F9 is a "Strong Gale." To
call
it a "gale"
simply means its somewhere between
F7 and F10 inclusive, although I've seen versions where F7 doesn't
quite
count as a "gale"
even though its a "moderate gale."

I seriously doubt you were in F8. The Beaufort Scale measures
"Sustained
Wind," not
gusts. Further, using the Beaufort scale in inland, protected waters
is
rather deceptive.
Since you're claim F8, does that mean you had waveheights of 18-25
feet?

Force 9 conditions is more properly called a gale or strong gale.
Most
"sailors" consider anything about force 6 to be somewhat
challenging.
This past
sunday we sailed in Force 7 and maybe Force 8 for a bit.
More than you could handle. But I suppose you call anything above
force
5 heavy
air right up to force 12!!

But I'm sure you can quickly conjure up a story of how you were in
this
storm
or that! And some folks here will believe you!

Bwahahahha!

Bloody hell, I just posted the same!

Never showed up for what?

RB

Perhaps it was challenging to the young bobspit because he was sailing in
the marina.

Calling Marc a liar again, Scotty?

Sorry, F9 would only be caled a "Strong gale". It wouldn't be called
a "Gale".
