As of 7pm local time the National Hurricane Centre are showing that Sandy has dropped to 75 knots and the central pressure is rising. So it is now 'only' a tropical storm. Winds have not increased over the last hours, we have 20 - 30 knots with occasional gusts of around 45knots. The conditions are pretty good, no worse than an gale in Poole Harbour, actually a lot warmer!!
We're expecting lots more rain and about this much rain all day tomorrow, but all is well on board.
Have to say I'm very impressed with the accuracy of the weather predictions and the preparedness of all the civic departments both here and in New York.
