According to NOAA records for W. LIS, it never got over 24 kts., from
9/26 - 9/29, if I'm reading this graph correctly


Sorry, Scotty Potti, I CAN afford wind instruments!

Martin never heard of a line going in a 24 hours period of bad weather. Then
again, doubling up on lines is a common practice when bad weather approaches.
Martin must wonder why.

What a load you spout, maybe you were using clothes line, but then again you know so little about boats and sailing that you have to use a marina that
tells you how to tie up.

Martin,

He didn't lose a line. Another fictitous troll.

Humor Him.


Yeah, you're right again, as for humouring him, I suppose so, probably what the doctors told his parents to do.

Cheers

Very good Scotty, Chuckles is exposed in yet another lie, I guess he'll never learn.

Tell us, Marty?
If it's a troll, who needs to "learn?"

Bwahahahaha!

Master Fisherman, RB!

Whatever is marty talking about now? Every slip on the island has specific
rules on tie up based on insurance. But then so does three marinas in Manhasset
bay I visited!
Yeah, Marty knows DOCKING!

Bwahhaahhaahaha!

Interesting, but that buoy doesn't report gusts, and its not that close to City
Island. Here's a report form the Merchant Marine Academy at King's Point, about
2 or 3 mile from booby:

The accompanying ASCII data does show some gusts in the low 20's.

Kings Point reported a gust up to 29 mph (25K) at
8:15 on 9/29/04. It was the strongest gust in the
past week.

Wow! I guess all those reports in the evening about gusts in the 35 kt range
were just heresay! Following morning gusts were to 25K.
Sorry, I actually have wind instruments...and a radio! But then what does this
have to do with a line popping? Hmmm!?

RB

And 20 is like, what, 50% of 40?
