Catherine, 60! kn winds? I'd heard "small craft warnings" on the radio yesterday but NOT that high. And, for me, unless I'm on a sailboat, "small craft warnings" means ME!

Did I hear something about 60 mph gusts? Even I would not take my boat out in that. ... And, I know that it will come back even from a 180 degree inversion.
If you go out in that kind of stuff, no matter how big your anchor, it won't be big enough.
Edited to add: When we came back from Hawaii at the beginning of January, we went through a day of squalls with 60 mph winds and it was not much fun, even on a 90,000 ton ship.

You guys be careful out there Catherine.
So this was BS? I hate when people make up crap like that! New Years 2001, I frostbit my face real bad snowmachining that night. I was just starting to thaw a little when we get called for a boat that has hit a rock, 2 adults and 5 kids in the water. it's -17F. Spent the rest of the night looking for then. Turned out to be a hoax.
