What was the wind speed like in this photo?

Hi Brad,

The average wind speed when we left the dock was 27 knots. We needed to get home and it was about 20 NM to our home, but almost downwind . The gusts were more and at the end of the trip the average wind had picked up some too. As you can tell by the picture we were sailing under reefed jib alone (we only have one reef point in each sail), but we were doing some decent speed.

/Kristian.
