Matches the pictures! Brody lies. Joe 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. Capt. Rob wrote: Why don't you post a weather report from LIS? Why? You couldn't make heads or tails of the first one I posted!!! Tell us again what the wind speed was? 13 knots???? Bwahahahahahahahahhah HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! RB 35s5 NY |

Thanks Jeff,
That is what the pictures show; winds btwn 4 to 6 with waves 6" I think you wrapped it up nicely. Now we'll have to read all kinds of stupid rebuttals from Nutsy. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |

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 |

They measured 27 knots of jet exhaust at LaGuardia.
Willets Point only shows 12 knots peak! You lie! "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... I don't see 30 kts anywhere near either of these numbers: 20Knots=23.0MPH 15Knots=17.3MPH Remedial reading? I already posted wind above 27 at LaGuardia. Does that mean it's not possible we saw 30 knots a few miles away? This is so over, Joe got quiet! RB 35s5 NY |
