so little about boats and sailing that you have to use a marina that
tells you how to tie up.

Whatever is marty talking about now?


This;

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!

Wow, 25 k, that's almost 40, isn't it?

He hehehe HE he he ha.

Sorry, I actually have a pinwheel for wind instrument...and a base
radio!
But then what does this have to do with my habitual lieing? Hmmm!?

This;

But I already said I don't have thimbles or shackles on my boat anymore.

RB

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


Sorry, Scotty, wind gusts in excess of 35 knots Tuesday after midnight.

RB

Wow, 25 k, that's almost 40, isn't it?

He hehehe HE he he ha.


25 knots steady, gusting over 35. Yup. Thanks!

RB-a guy with wind instruments!

RB

The only "gust" your instrument reported was when you stepped on board and the
masthead moved suddenly.

Fact: if a boat heels 30 degrees in one second, that can be seen as 15 knots at
the masthead.


Yesterday you were claiming it gusted to over 40; now you're saying over 35.
What's happening, is your world getting smaller?

Just reporting what NOAA said. Maybe they lied?
