I think your math needs a second look. 25 knots is roughly 29 mph.

In other words, it's even higher, in mph, than he indicated, which
further emphasizes the point he was making.


Anyone who cites wind strength in mph in a nautical context, for a nautical
audience is not to be trusted. Every marine forecast (including in Ed's home
waters) is posted in knots. Ed even said he relies on the weather channel's
land forecast rather than the NOAA marine forecast. It makes you wonder.
