Rain felt like needles on skin. Glad we lived to tell the tale.
Cate - can't help you with the wind speed as we're pretty protected here, but I think I may have spotted you shortly before the storm hit. I saw a sailboat between Rattlesnake and Sleepers/Treasure Islands headed toward Wolfeboro maybe 20 - 30 minutes before the storm came. Was that you? Glad you made it back OK.
