I told you never to listen to the weather man!! He told us 15-20, gusts to 30. Not great, but certainly nothing like the 30-38-knot sustained winds with 42-knot gusts we ended up with for more than an hour. Somehow we scratched and clawed our way to a decent day, however. This is a pic of one of the other boats getting pummeled at the height of the gale!
