Wind here got very high between 8 and 10 pm. and caused some damage to our docks for the second time this season. This is rare for us as the docks are a mile or so from the mouth of the harbour. Gusts recorded at the weather buoy south of Port Stanley reached 45 knots, and it was a south wind we were dealing with.

At one point on radar it went as far south as the Pittsburgh area and north maybe half way up Superior. I went out racing in it. Thankfully RC set 1.1 mile legs once around. Saw 24 kts winds under spinnaker and 7.6 kts boat speed, but just can't catch the J/22 and J/24s downwind. A couple of the sport boats finished in under 22 minutes. Guessing it was 17 minutes upwind, 5 down. Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1
