We too were in that storm. Anchoured at Lost Bay with 3 other boats and just finishing dinner when it hit. Sail boats in the area clocked the winds at 62 Knts.and the Storm lasted approx 1 hour. Not the nicest thing to be in for sure. Is it my imagination or are the winds much higher this year on the bay.

No, we haven't. Looked at a few and for reasons known only to the owners, the deals have fallen apart.
We just got home from a 2 week east coast vacation. We're taking a hard look at where we are and where we want to be.
We're not interested in getting back on a boat that is loaded with little surprises. Been down that road and not interested in a repeat. We are going to be taking a step back for now and see what spring brings.
