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.

Good grief! One of your lines "popped" in 40 knot winds??? What are you
using, bakery twine?

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!

RB

Idiot.

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!

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

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.
