And it's a forecast!!!! Know what a forecast is, Joe? It's not the
weather, now is it??? Oh, no!!!
Does anyone really think Joe has even the slightest knowledge of boats,
sailing or weather? With every post he digs himself in deeper.

Here, Joe. Let's try again. Read CAREFULLY and SLOWLY. Focus! This is
the ACTUAL weather for the 9th here, not a guess from the previous
day!:

Actual weather report, Joe. Actual gusts to 25 knots. Wind speed of 20.
You do know that predictions don't win out over actual events, right???
You forecast a long sea voyage, yet after seven years Redcloud is
nearly rusted to the dock! That's reality!

Ladies and gent's....allow me to introduce JOE, the dumbest fish ASA

The weather report is given in MPH, which should be converted as follows:
kts X 1.150779 = mph
25 MPH gusts = 21.7 knot gusts
20 MPH windspeed = 17.4 knot windspeed
30 knot gusts = 34.5 mph gusts

Here's the actual report from the station about 3 miles south of where
booby sort of claims that he sailed.
http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/dat...at=View+Plo t
or
http://tinyurl.com/ptkc3

The chart shows that the wind was below 6 kts until around 3pm, when
it climbed to 10. At 6 pm it jumped to 15, with gusts of 18, and got
a bit stronger after dark. Now, I have claimed that "all weather is
local" but it does seem unlikely that King's Point, which is pretty
well exposed to the South and West, would have much different wind
from an area just a few miles away, actually within sight.

Of course, its doubtful that Booby actually stayed out when the wind
started to pick up. In fact, he never quite says that he was there,
he only claims that "most boats were sent home."

It's funny to watch how the story changes with time. His first two
posts after the sail never mention wind, then the next morning he
mentions reefing and "heavy air." One would think that if he really
experienced 30 knots he would be eager to mention it right away.
Later in the day, after hearing from other boaters, he suddenly claims
it was "gusting to 30 knots for two hours" and "It sent most boats
home by 5:30." Note that at 5:30 King's Point, just 3 miles south,
only shows 10, gusting to 12 at that point. Then realizing his
blunder, he starts backpedaling, claiming it was at least 20. Then he
claims victory by citing a weather station 35 miles away, on the South
side of Long Island, that actually on showed a sustained wind of 16 knots.

My guess is that Booby went out for about an hour, and when the wind
picked up to 15, he took an a reef and headed home.

BTW, he claims to have been out at sunset, but that was at 8:30 and he
posted at 9:07 that night. And, while there might be a "funnel
affect" around Execution Rock in a NE wind, this was a SW, so this
area is where the Sound is opening up to the wind, not funneling. Its
easier to believe that Booby's friend at Throgs Neck had some gusts
from the funneling.

Sorry, Jeff...I'll dismantle you with clear facts and you can join the
other bodies in the pit of dopey doom!
either your lying or not reading my first post which mentions the
following....

"With a single reef and the
110 popped we flew on a close reach...the surge of power felt so far
beyond anything the C&C 32 could do."

Not only that you clearly can't read the report closest to where we
we
http://weather.newsday.com/auto/news...sta tename=NA

Winds steady at nearly 20 knots BEFORE 6 pm, Jeff. OOPS!!!!

Sounds like we had a bit of wind, Jeff. And yes, I'm just 20 minutes
from home.

La Guardia Airport is closer to Execution Rock than Kings Point?
Right, Booby, you sure know your home waters. The US Merchant Marine
Academy at Kings Point is about 2 miles south of your slip! What a
jackass!

La Guardia is about 8 miles west, in a totally different geography,
and is notorious for high wind readings. KP, right on the water,
didn't record steady wind over 16 knots that evening. Yes, there
might have been a few gusts up to 22, but in fact LGA only reports a
knot or so higher. This is a huge difference from 30 knots.

And I stand by the timeline - you made two posts the night before
mentioning "heavy air," and it was the almost a day after the fact
that you mentioned 30 knots. You did mention in the second post after
the sail that you tested out reefs, but you never mentioned the wind.
