Interesting about the wind gusts; we are in the middle of the Ohio Valley and went out in the remnants of Hurricane Nate: we had mean winds of 14-18 mph with gust in the mid to upper 30s; I clocked one gust at 39: of course it put the rail in the water..grin, grin...!

I went for the last sail of the season then un-stepped the mast yesterday. At 5 AM Sunday the Toronto Island Airport which is across the Western Gap from the National Yacht Club recorded a 47 mph gust, 32 mph winds. The forecast was for the wind to ease in the afternoon to under 10 knots east, we enjoyed upwards to 20 knots south. Nice sailing in short sleeves on October 8th. A couple of weeks back on September 27th we had the last race of the fall series with a storm line crossing the province. Winds were consistently into the 20s though we wondered if there would be a significant gust. The storm continued east towards Ottawa and the Britannia Yacht Club where a downburst hit them with a 100 mph gust and 87 mph for over a minute. Hopefully not the new norm.

Dock neighbor emailed me all is well. Was worried one of the "derelict" liveaboard boats anchored astern of me would break loose. Wind would have carried it towards Touche's pier. Saw 40 mph steady and gusts to 53 mph at Pensacola Naval Air Station. Water level rose less than 3 feet. All in all, Nate wasn't overly destructive. Some localized damage on the Mississippi Coast but could have been worse. Let's hope we're done for the year. Dennis C.
