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. ....

Looks like you were well out in the middle, too. 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. Scotty |
