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

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


The answer is quite clear to everyone else on the group, look in a mirror.

Cheers

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



Had beans for supper eh?

Cheers

It amazes me that you can have so many frothing at this. Just out of
interest have you ever experienced a full storm anywhere?

Went to the boat this morning to find one of the aft lines popped in the night.
Winds gusted over 40 knots last night and were still to 30 when I got there at
10:30 am. But I knew this was coming and doubled up on the lines! No problemo.
Sure is a great day to do some sailing, so I'm going back in a few hours.

Depends on what you call a full storm. If you mean a real hurricane at sea with
40 foot waves, then no.
But with my first boat in the 90's I was caught in a bad T-storm that was
called the worst in the area for years. It killed several people, including a
woman on the LIS. Winds were said to top 80knots for a brief period. All I know
is I watched a big Island Packet's bare mast nearly hit the water before it hit
us. Damn scary and I'd never been in a storm before.
But a "real" storm where the waves tower over the mast, nope.
