Wind speeds? From the photo you posted yesterday I doubt it was over 15
kts. from the seastate. You do have a helm repeater on the VHF don't you?

You can't judge the windspeeds from pictures, certainly not the strong gusts.
In any case I took no pics when it picked up because there was too much spray
for my nice Canon G3 camera.

But keep trying!
