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. Capt. Rob wrote: 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." 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. RB 35s5 NY |
