What're you bitching about? It'll have cleaned the decks and washed the salt out of the sails, halyards & sheets; all while you sat around sipping a brew.

I wonder what caused it? I gather it was very localised, only 30kts at Culatra

The marina swimming pool was busy with scantily clad ladies this morning keeping cool.

We get some strange weather events here, a couple of years ago, two tornados came through, luckily either side of boat yard, a year or two before that the airport roof partly lifted off and a couple of 737s changed position on the apron.
Looking east from Faro this afternoon, looked like a good downpour from a CuNim and later on, another over maybe Loule. Fine and sunny on mooring with light breeze

Spoke to a couple of guys this morning who recorded 72 kts during the microburst a couple of days ago. One of them , his fairly light boat (Ejay) moored about 100m from ours, was laid flat.
Enjoy you sail tomorrow, hope you don't get mugged by orcas
