The winds started to rise Sunday afternoon and just kept building up to 40 knots with gusts to 55+ by Monday afternoon. All this time the barometric pressure continued to fall to 29.22″ or 992 mb. Not hurricane levels but pretty low for around here. The waves built to nearly 20′ with a period of 4 to 6 seconds and were breaking out as far as we could see and there were little ripples on the far horizon which is a sure indicator of big seas.

We had lots more details but it somehow got lost ………….Sorry.
