I'd be getting awful tired of listening to the wind howl for another 24 hours!

Great video, thanks.

Thanks for all the good wishes.
The wind has dropped now to under 30K so the system abated quicker than expected.
Unfortunately the wind is going to swing rapidly around to the South at about 35K. This will mean moving anchorages probably about 02:00 or 03:00AM. tomorrow morning.

This is St Nicholas Bay in Aruba. We anchored minutes before the squall hit...



ciao!
Nick.

Wow, when I was in a squall at Cape Lookout (don't have wind speed instrumentation) but it was enough to cause my dingy to turn turtle, but the thought of grabbing the camera never crossed my mind.
