Judging from the water, it looks like about 12 ~ 15 knots,
but I would think more from looking at the reefed sails.
Looks like you were well out in the middle, too.

Damn Koe, did you cheat? According to iWind it was a=8-12
b=9-14 and I have no idea what the heel was. 15 points to

felt like 15-20 to me, but I'm always off. According to the
iWind report it was 8-14. The waves were bigger than what
the pics show.
My boat is a bit tender, light, so she really likes to have
her main reefed early.
