Just as an aside, does anyone look at the strength vs the maximum gust?
As a guess, if it's a squall, then the speed of the gust is the speed of the wind whereas if it has just increased, then you'd expect a gust on top of the strength
I was this close (holds thumb and forefinger a bees dicks apart) from throwing on the wetty and heading out. I had such a terrible sailing afternoon yesterday I decided I couldn't go through the slog again. Did some grocery shopping instead.
