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!?

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

RB-a guy with wind instruments!

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?
