Well I had to reply to this, yes, I had to break out the 4.8 today.
It was blowing today in Stuart, Florida.  Around 14-32mph, with the
morning session being a consistent 23-30,  I drove up there from
Ft Lauderdale since it was only doing about 15 down here.  I did
rig up to a 6.4 for the afternoon and found myself overpowered
much of the time.  Kind of a rare day for Florida in the middle of
summer!!!  May blow again tomorrow, apparently some high pressure to
the north and a weak tropical wave to the south caused some of this.
